LAS VEGAS (Sept. 23, 2019) - Coesia Group (www.coesia.com), showcases its focus on sustainable packaging solutions at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2019. Booth C-4400 features the VOLPAK SI-280 horizontal-form-fill-seal pouching machine, one of the only machines on the market capable of running recyclable packaging materials. This capability exemplifies the goal of the VOLPAK PouchLAB, the company's new research and development center dedicated to developing sustainable pouch solutions.

"The SI-280 is a real-world example of the industry's best efforts to create sustainable solutions, a truly no-compromise machine that combines connectivity and high performance with the versatility to run recyclable packaging materials," says Abe Lagunas, Product Manager, VOLPAK America. "But that's only the beginning. Our PouchLAB brings together players across the industry to test newly developed materials and equipment to make consumer goods as eco-friendly as possible."

Earlier this year, VOLPAK introduced a brand-new, patent-pending packaging technology that allows customers to produce flexible pouches made of 100% recyclable material, both in plastic and an innovative paper-based film. It is available on new machines and can also be installed on existing VOLPAK equipment as an upgrade, enabling existing production lines to now use exclusively recyclable material. The retrofit offers sealing sequence and equipment improvements, and includes access to a variety of new pouch design formats.

Flexible pouch designs eliminate the need for plastic labels by printing directly on the pack, allowing companies to shift away from unrecyclable materials. Flexible pouches are also fundamentally less wasteful than rigid containers, saving energy and cost in production and transportation due to their lighter weight.

VOLPAK is the global leader in form-fill-seal solutions for the pouch packaging industry and offers the most innovative solutions on the market. VOLPAK is part of Coesia, a group of innovation-based industrial and packaging solutions companies operating globally and headquartered in Bologna, Italy.

Hub International announces strategic partnership with Mas Seguros to expand transportation cross-border capabilities

Chicago, IL, October 1, 2024 - Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today an exclusive referral and broker program partnership throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with MAS Seguros, the largest trucking insurance broker in Mexico. The partnership is a response to Mexico’s growing influence in the global economy and a reflection of HUB’s and MAS Seguros’ commitment to expanding its capabilities to better serve clients doing business throughout North America.

Due to changing global political relationships and policies*, there has been a significant move for manufacturing operations to Mexico, which comes with increased risk and insurance challenges when transporting goods cross-border. Organizations face regulatory compliance issues, crime, product damage, catastrophic weather events and accidents. Additionally, more transportation firms from Mexico are moving to the U.S. As a result, there is an emerging transportation and logistics need to manage risk and insure freight, property and assets while transporting goods into Mexico for manufacturing and then back to the U.S. and Canada.
