KBA-Metronic AG is once again opened its doors to visitors at the event. Together with its Italian partner Baccella Commerciale (Asti, Piemonte), the company showed its high-tech products for marking and logistics applications. Baccella Commerciale and KBA-Metronic have been working together for 22 years, and more than 1,500 marking systems have now been installed in Italy. “Its geography makes Italy a difficult but very attractive market for us, and in the future we plan to add greater focus to our sales activities in the country. Now that Ipack-Ima has moved to a new, more convenient location in Rho-Pero, the international profile of the show has grown significantly, and it now plays a central role in the industry,” explained Marking Products Sales Manager Thorsten Schnatz. Germany is an important trade partner for Italy. Technology ‘made in Germany’ enjoys an excellent reputation in the county, and we intend to take full advantage of that.”
