The acclaimed range of stretchwrapping equipment from Orion Packaging Systems (UK) will be showcased at the Total Processing and Packaging event in Birmingham from 15-18 May 2007.

Orion, one of only a handful of UK manufacturers of stretchwrapping machinery, will display a variety of pallet wrappers, orbital wrappers and reel wrappers, as well as a selection of materials handling equipment. The company has recently diversified into this area to offer a more complete service for clients. Orion's products are supplied into a wide range of industries, with clients including Netto, Lyreco, Dairy Farmers of Britain, Affordable Window Systems and Zotefoams plc.

The company also supplies all consumable needs as well as offering training and maintenance by its own team of engineers.

All products are designed and built to order from domestically-sourced components at Orion's Herefordshire manufacturing facility.

Walter Williams, Managing Director of Orion Packaging Systems (UK) , commented: 'Our company is geared up to supply bespoke equipment to meet any stretchwrapping need in any sector'.

'Unlike other suppliers, we design and manufacture all our machines to order so the customer knows they are getting a machine built to their specific requirements rather than just an off the shelf product.' Established in 1987, Orion is today one of only a handful of UK-owned manufacturers of end of line stretchwrapping equipment for palletised and unpalletised goods.

Orion offers a full range of automatic and semi-automatic systems, available either as stand-alone units or fully integrated into the production line.

It has also diversified into materials handling, giving customers access to the complete offering for product movement and packaging prior to despatch.
