Blackstar Materials Handling Systems has secured the first UK order and installation for a strapping and stretch wrapping system from Italy-based Messersi Packaging.
In a new collaboration, Lancashire, UK-based Blackstar – a specialist provider of end of line equipment solutions – will be an official distributor and installer of Messersi Packaging equipment, including consumables, in the UK and Eire.
Blackstar Handling’s first installation of Messersi equipment is for The Box Shop, Scotland’s largest independent manufacturer of cardboard boxes and a supplier of packaging solutions, with whom Blackstar already had an existing relationship.
“Over many years Blackstar has gained a wealth of experience supplying full matrerial handling systems, and integrating our pallet handling equipment with all the major suppliers of stretch wrappers and strappers very successfully,” says Ian Pegler, Blackstar Handling Systems MD.
“So when we were invited to work with Messersi Packaging to supply complete material handling systems, the opportunity could not be missed.”
