KHS USA buys assets of Scandia Packaging Machinery Co.
Scandia specializes in system solutions, including cartoners, film overwrappers, multipackers and case packers.
KHS USA, Inc., Waukesha, Wis., announced plans to buy the assets of Scandia Packaging Machinery Co., Fairfield, N.J. This new acquisition will enable KHS’ North American subsidiary to expand its portfolio to include compact cartoners and secondary packaging machines. At the same time, Scandia Packaging Machinery gives KHS USA access to several new market segments where it has been inactive, so it can vertically integrate existing products.
“There’s a trend toward smaller single-serve products. In taking over Scandia, an expert in compact packaging machines, we’re developing attractive growth areas in this very segment,” says Donald Deubel, vice president and business unit leader at KHS USA.
