| | With over 6 decades experience and over 80 000 installations done in 25 countries, Starpak also known as Levy & Smith is certainly a powerhouse in Africa’s shrink wrapping market. |
| | | |
| |
| With manufacturing in Johannesburg and sales, service and support in Durban & Cape Town as well as agencies in Nigeria & Kenya, it’s clear that their ever expanding market certainly has the continent covered. |
| |
| With the company in its fourth generation of family management; business owner Steve Smith who has been controlling the direction of the company for over 30 years says that their customers have the peace of mind of knowing that not only are they purchasing a quality product; but with the family business connection, customers receive a legacy of continuity, commitment & support which is what their reputation is built on. Their range of machinery is also quite extensive; from shrink wrap packaging – shrink wrappers; over wrappers, shrink tunnels, flight bars and high speed single roll wrappers – all of them custom built. Their latest high speed single roll wrappers built for the beverage industry was for Shanduka Beverages (Coca Cola) in 2007 & 2008. Their range recently expanded to include palletizers, depalletizers, pallet stretch wrappers & robotics. This after a successful collaboration between themselves & Italian manufacturer Clevertech srl. They are now able to offer a complete End of Line solution to any specification as well as turn key projects. Their local customers can now benefit from European technology coupled to the local backup & support Starpak is renowned for. Between them, both companies have over a century of packaging experience. Starpak also caters to every industry; from food & beverage, cosmetic & pharmaceutical to furniture & timber. In fact anything you can think of that could be shrink wrapped, they have built a machine for it. |
| |
| The company is also no stranger to international acclaim. In 2002 they received the 31st International Trophy for Quality; The New Millennium Award, which was presented to them at a prestigious gala in Paris, France. More recently they received the 2009 International Award for Technology & Quality presented in Geneva, Switzerland. |
| |
| Starpak has also taken a pro-active approach to reducing theirs, as well as their customer’s carbon footprint. They recently developed technology which enables them to reduce the energy consumed by their equipment between 40-60%. Head of sales & marketing, Warren Smith & son of owner Steve Smith says that from 2010 they also pledge to plant a tree for every machine that is sold, to counteract the effects of their machinery on the environment. “Besides the obvious positive effect on the environment, businesses can reduce overall costs by reducing their footprint. Its win win.” |
| |
| So when it comes to end of line packaging solutions, Starpak seems to be the logical option when it comes to a green friendly approach, quality machinery, backup & support.
