Pro Mach acquires P.E. Labellers

The addition of Italy-based P.E. Labellers expands Pro Mach’s capabilities to provide high-speed decorative labeling and integrated systems worldwide. All global subsidiaries and management teams of P.E. Labellers join the Pro Mach team.

P.E. Labellers has provided automatic high-speed rotary and linear labeling equipment for more than 40 years and provides a wide range of technology for consumer and industrial packaged goods companies from more than 10 facilities worldwide.

P.E. Labellers’ systems are completely modular and include self-adhesive, hot melt, cold glue, roll-fed and sleeve labeling technologies. Full modularity and a universal machine body give users flexibility to easily install and swap different labeling systems depending on need and production environment. It has more than 10,000 rotary and linear labelers installed worldwide.

Mark Anderson, Pro Mach president and CEO, explained: ‘With the addition of P.E. Labellers, Pro Mach now has a very complete labeling solutions portfolio for almost any customer. Along with our other industry leading brands NJM Packaging, Weiler Labeling Systems, Axon, EPI Labelers and ID Technology, we now have a full-range of primary, secondary and tertiary labeling solutions for virtually any application, including high-speed production lines, custom packaging, e-commerce, and complex pharmaceutical requirements.’

Bruno Negri, co-founder and chairman of the board of P.E. Labellers, along with Nicola Schinelli, vice chairman, will continue to lead the P.E. Labellers team.

‘Pro Mach and P.E. Labellers bring together a great deal of experience and success in complementary and diverse markets,’ said Negri. ‘Together we have many outstanding opportunities to better serve our mutual customers and introduce new ones to some of the packaging industry’s most innovative solutions across the entire packaging line. We remain fully committed to providing the global marketplace with the best labeling technology and customer support and I firmly believe with Pro Mach we have the ideal partner to help us continue our tremendous growth. We share a common strategic vision for the long-term future and will be adding new facilities to help us continue our focus and commitment to actively improving our already exceptional quality and service. I very much look forward to continuing to lead the P.E. Labellers team as we enter the next chapter of our story.’

Since 2010, Pro Mach’s installed base of machinery has more than doubled and sales outside of the US have more than tripled. It supports this global customer base with operations in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

‘Many of our global customers want a single source provider of machinery solutions and integrated systems that will help them simplify line development, achieve optimum performance, reduce risks and better manage costs,’ said Barry Heiser, president of Pro Mach’s Global Filler and Integrated Solutions business. ‘The core keystone systems that many of our high production customers want to integrate first are filling, capping, and labeling. The addition of P.E. Labellers advances our high-speed capabilities and helps us better serve these customers worldwide.’
