Aetna UK has announced that Dimac, part of the Aetna Group, has won a series of worldwide orders for machinery from its range of packaging equipment.

Those contracts include one with the Bintang brewery of Heineken Indonesia.

The Bintang brewery is the most important in Indonesia and it has installed a wrap around R25 case packer in a new canning line producing 28.800 cans per minute.

Another order is that from Whitewave, part of the Dean Food Group, which is the largest dairy group in the USA.

Three wrap around R25 case packers with three lane dividers and stainless steel configuration have been installed for lines producing drinkable yoghurt and flavoured milk.

Possibly the largest water bottler in Germany, Group Leisslinger Himmeslberger has just taken delivery of a new Star 60 single roll shrink wrapping system, which is its 13th machine installation from Dimac.

Total motor oil in France was reportedly so impressed with the flexibility and maintenance support offered by Dimac, that despite already running four machines from a rival company, it has now installed the latest Planet 30 wrap around case packer with laner in its plant in the North of France.

Another contract is the one for Keo Beer, the most famous in Cyprus and the Middle East.

The company has just ordered a Star One F30 single roll shrink wrapper, together with a turning and dividing unit to produce multipacks of cans.

Meanwhile, Bramhult, which produces the most famous fresh fruit juices in Scandinavia has received from Dimac a Robopac Helix 30 rotary arm pallet stretch wrapper and two Star One P30 single roll shrink wrapping end of line systems.

Aetna UK has also revealed a very welcome flurry of Dimac contracts in the UK, particularly to water bottlers, which has ended 2005 on a high and provided a healthy order book and renewed confidence in the market for 2006, added the company.
