front-end solutions such as dis-
pensing and kegging.
The company has service
units in India from where it
provides complete service and
part replacement. “Whenever
there is an issue with a ma-
chine, we keep the parts in-
house so the customer does
not have to wait for the part to
be imported,” Menon added.
In case of cosmetics, the
company provides glass and
plastic packaging machinery
to leading companies such as
L’Oreal. For pharma, the com-
pany provides processing,
packaging, and inspection ma-
chines for injectables and vials.
At Drink Technology In-
dia, the company is selling its
complete range for craft beers
for processing, packaging and
inspecting. However, the dis-
pensing and kegging solutions
are the only ones on display.
“We are constantly work-
ing on our products and we fo-
cus mainly on technology and
knowledge. We participate in
many exhibitions in India and
overseas. We learn a lot from
the international shows and try
to use the knowledge to better
our products and services. We
also provide custom solutions
for customers with specific de-
mands,” Menon said. Ace Tech-
nologies has been participating
at DTI since the very first edi-
tion. “However, the Mumbai
show always has better foot-
fall than the Delhi show. Peo-
ple come to the Mumbai show
from all over. Our objective at
DTI is not to sell but to educate
our customers and answer their
questions. Sales is a part of it
and something that eventually
happens,” Menon concluded.

customer. Under its Pack Line
series, the company laid prime
focus on selling its Pick and
Place Packer 140 at pacprocess
2019.
“After filling, sealing and
labeling of a product, the
product needs to packed
together in a bundle; that’s
where we come in. The
end of line packaging was
predominantly done manually
in India. We are trying to
replace it by providing
automated solutions,” said
Mallikarjun Kulloli, director,
Mas Systech.
Established in 2011, the
company has branches
in Delhi, Bengaluru and
Coimbatore. “We have
started expanding our sales
to the neighboring countries,
including Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka and Nepal.
At pacprocess, Mas
Systech is targeting beverage
and alcohol producers as
prospective customers. The
company provides carton
and shrink sleeve end of line
packaging for beverage mainly
as of now. “We got a good
response from the alcobev
industry when started off.
But we are developing new
products to accommodate
beer cans and aseptic
packaging packers, which
will be launched next year.
We are also expanding our
manufacturing unit in Pune to
supply to other segments as
well. The new infrastructure
will be up and running within
a year,” Kulloli added.
The company has been
participating in pacprocess for
the last two years. Speaking
about the upcoming trends
in the industry, Kulloli said,
“The demand for automation
in the beverage industry
will increase. The speed
of manufacturing is rising
rapidly. Our regular line can
pack 100 bottles a minute. But
as companies expand their
production, they need faster
solutions. With our solutions,
they can increase their
capacity from 100 bottles a
minute to 300 bottles a minute
within the same space; there
would be no need to expand
their current infrastructure.
Also, things can be handled
manually up to 100 bottles
a minute. As soon as it gets
more than that, it is difficult
to manage it manually. That is
where automation is required,
and we see an opportunity.”
