Soleco UK, owner of salad brand Florette has installed two Vision 4000 automatic in-line machines from Packaging Automation. They will be used for

hermetically sealing film lids to A-PET salad bowls, which are supplied to leading supermarkets nationwide.

Launched in 1998, the Vision 4000 has evolved to meet customer requirements for hygiene, flexibility and reliability through quality engineering and design.

Soleco UK's managing director Gerald Lacey said: ''Due to significant growth in demand for our products and the market penetration of our new revolutionary salad snack bowl range, a new heat-sealing machine was required.

"We investigated several companies in the search for the latest machine, which would meet our requirements. Packaging Automation was chosen because of the overall service, response time and expertise offered by the company - and the fact that the Vision 4000 is designed and built completely in Britain was another plus.''
