PACE Mechanical Handling has been appointed as the first UK representative for Innova ’ s Stretch Hood pallet wrapping system .
Established in 2001 and headquartered in Castellón , Spain , Innova Group specialises in end-of-line strapping and wrapping , packaging machinery including its Stretch Hood system .
Unique to the UK market , the Stretch Hood system guarantees total protection against humidity , rain and dust due to the tightness of the wrapping and properties of the Stretch Hood film , which envelopes palletised products from above to the base .
As well as being the only system that delivers completely waterproof protection , Stretch Hood uses the minimal amount of film possible , reducing material and energy costs . 74 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
Until now , Innova has focused on North America , Mexico and Brazil but turned its attention to the UK after another Spanish packaging machinery manufacturer - TMI Sl - introduced the company to Nick Cesare at PACE Mechanical Handling .
“ We have been representing TMI in the UK since June 2022 . I think Innova was impressed with how we ’ ve gone about introducing TMI ’ s ILERBOX system to the UK and thought we might be able to do the same with the Stretch Hood system ,” says Nick . “ Stretch Hood is unlike anything else available in the UK , and we are confident it will replace traditional stretch wrappers due to the way it protects products and reduces both film and energy use . We think it will be popular with packers of all sizes across several sectors , including agriculture , food and beverages , chemicals and cement .
“ Stretch Hood complements our range of robotic and automated packing lines in the same way as ILERBOX does , so we are very excited to be appointed as the sole representative for Innova in the UK .” Commenting on PACE ’ s appointment , Sergio Llido , CEO of Innova Group , says : “ For Innova , the UK is a strategic market , and we needed an experienced partner to work with . We chose PACE for their experience , technical team ,
