Packaging boost for soldering
torch
Rothenberger’s Super Fire 2 soldering and
brazing torch is a popular choice among
plumbers and is sold in 19 countries but, as
with most successful products, copies have
appeared on the market.
This prompted Rothenberger to review the
presentation of the product and they chose
to use a transparent pack designed by Bell
Packaging Limited.
The end caps are made using a special mould
developed for the application. In addition
to being a closure the cap can be used as a
stand to hold the torch when not being used.
The caps use the patented Jetlok design of
fixing (Patent No. GB2355000). This feature
ensures that copies cannot be made and
protects the substantial investment made by
Rothenberger in the new packaging.

SMES URGED TO HARNESS
TECHNOLOGY OR RISK FALLING
BEHIND
Small-scale manufacturers are in ‘critical
danger’ of losing out to their competitors
unless they adapt quickly to the changes
sweeping their industries, a supply chain
expert has warned.
Lucy Pamment, product manager at supply
chain technology specialist Access Group,
has branded many of the discussions around
Industry 4.0 ‘unhelpful’ for SMEs, who have yet
to get on board with the digital revolution.
To counteract this, Access Group has launched
a new guide to dispel the misconceptions
around Industry 4.0 entitled, Industry 4.0 User
Manual for SME.
