Melbourne-based packaging and processing specialist Splatt Engineering has signed a partnership deal with Italian company PE Labellers.

With the aim of establishing a global presence for its product and customer base, with local support from partners who have extensive knowledge of the local market, PE Labellers had its eyes on Splatt as a partner.

“The demand to have a knowledgeable local partner, an after-sales service centre in the region and strong relationship contacts led us to evaluate which partner we would need,” Luca Carollo, sales director at PE Labellers, said.

“After market evaluation and an economy development study, we decided to expand our presence in Australia and New Zealand.

“Economically, it shows robust growth and has good possibilities for expansion of our technical solutions in both rotary labeller and sleever technology segments.”

PE Labellers was impressed by Splatt’s 40-year history in the packaging industry.

A family-owned business, Splatt’s customers include important companies in the Australasian market, and its operation is organised to service complete lines as well as single machine integration.

Through the partnership agreement, the plan is to establish local spare parts storage for PE equipment parts at Splatt’s Melbourne headquarters.
