At NPE 2012 in Orlando, Florida, Greiner Assistec S.A. de C.V. presented itself to a large audience of industry experts from April 2 through April 5. “Our participation at NPE was one of the first major steps to present our corporation specifically to the South and Southeast region of the US. We had the opportunity to make new interesting business contacts and introduce our versatile services to the US market,” said Franz Dilly, Head of Division Greiner Assistec at Greiner Packaging.
Greiner Assistec has been active in Mèxico since November 2010. Our location in Monterrey has been equipped with state-of-the-art European injection molding machinery and equipment for printing and ultrasonic welding. At present, the company is producing packaging for the NAFTA location of a longstanding strategic partner. In addition, it produces printed and ultrasonic-welded parts for a manufacturer of air conditioning systems. Plans for the medium include additional partnerships with major manufacturers from sectors such as powertools, gardening and household appliance industries – and in the long term, the technological mix will be increased. Our location in México is also positioned to be the hub for other divisions of Greiner Packaging International in the US and Central America.

Greiner Assistec S.A. de C.V. is an integral part of Division Greiner Assistec. The core strengths of Greiner Assistec are the development, production, logistics, and assembly of plastic parts – along with providing customized sourcing solutions. Using highly-versatile technological skills and processes, Greiner Assistec is capable of offering its customers a wide range of solutions, such as injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming of thermoplastics, and decoration variants such as printing and painting – as well as joining methods such as gluing and welding.

Great interest in K3
In addition to Greiner Assistec’s diversity of services exhibited at NPE 2012, our sustainable K3 packaging technology generated interest among trade show visitors as well. K3 is the successful combination of plastics and cardboard for the manufacture of cups and tubs – and it was developed by Greiner Packaging International. It makes a convincing choice through offering a variety of decoration methods. K3 packaging solutions meet the highest demands of modern packaging communication. They stand true and tested with their commonly-used diameters, round and irregular shapes, and in their multi-pack forms. Compared to other packaging materials they score with a significantly better CO2 balance.
