About PackSys Global
PackSys Global AG develops and manufactures machines and complete systems for the packaging industry. The portfolio includes tube machines and complete lines for laminate and extruded tubes, packing machines for packing, unpacking, bundling and palletizing tubes, monoblock aerosol cans and cartridges, as well as slitting and folding machines for plastic closures, including tethered cap technologies and inline inspection systems. The technologies cover the entire process: from side-seam welding of the tube body through tube shoulder forming and closure application to cartoning and palletizing. Customers come from the cosmetics, oral care, medical technology, and food & beverage industries; machines operate in over 90 countries. Founded in 1969, the company has around 300 employees, belongs to the Brückner Group, and is present with its headquarters in Rüti (Canton of Zurich) as well as a site in Haldenstein. A technology center (KREA LAB) with a machine and testing laboratory supports customers in developing new materials and packaging concepts.
