The expansion of the company continues with the successes of the eighties and nineties, including innovations in the cartoning and packaging segment and new projects to be developed.
We are in 1988 and the time has come for Cassoli to launch a world premiere, the IN/4BA.
It is a bundler/boxing machine, the first “combi” machine capable of managing a double process: the product is channelled from the upstream machine into a single input line and then, according to the subsequent distribution needs, the correct machine is selected, sending the product to either a bundle or a box.
In the same period the PAC340TP comes to light, a napkin packaging machine for single and double stacks, with a vertical polyethylene unwinding mechanism and performances that reach 50 packs per minute. The PAC340TP imposes itself on the market and induces competitors to adapt their machines to the same standards in terms of quality, productivity and film savings.
In the early nineties, the PAC450TP for bulk packs and the PK61, a cartooning machine for facial tissue that works at 60 packs per minute, are also launched.
Thanks to its innovative and design skills, Cassoli is involved by an important Taiwanese player who “wanted to automate the entire packaging process, from primary packaging to palletization, of a product that was only available in Taiwan: flat-tissue. It bore no resemblance to what we had seen up before in terms of tissue-based products. The transformation process wasn’t that of rolls or of napkins. For that reason, no one, up to that point, had even tried to automate its packaging. It took us 18 months to create the plant, but the satisfaction we had in achieving the goal set by the client was incredible!” Stefano Cassoli said.
