Flexible, high-output packaging lines for confectionery and luxury goods

Vetipak, one of Europe’s leading contract manufacturers, needed to keep pace with rapidly changing consumer demands and labor shortages in the FMCG sector. Specializing in packaging for luxury home & body care products and confectionery, Vetipak sought a solution that would deliver speed, flexibility, and uncompromising quality across diverse product lines.

To meet these challenges, Vetipak partnered with OMRON and B Electrical Engineering to automate three new packaging lines using OMRON’s Robotics Integrated Controller and Viper robots. This automation approach replaced complex manual processes—such as intricate gift set assembly and high-volume confectionery packaging—enabling scalable production that adapts quickly to new formats and seasonal demands.

With OMRON’s robotics technology, Vetipak achieved precise, reliable packaging that ensures product quality and safety. The intuitive, user-friendly control system allows operators to make rapid adjustments, minimizing downtime and enabling easy changeovers for different packaging designs. The result: a future-ready solution that can be reprogrammed and repurposed as Vetipak’s needs evolve.
