The joint venture between CEPEDA and MELTOG has reached its eighth anniversary, a period in which multiple developments and improvements have been made to the equipment they offer.
Headquartered in the Iberian Peninsula, CEPEDA has been, since 1975, one of the leading suppliers of machinery and solutions for the metal packaging industry. Throughout its history, it has designed and manufactured both individual machines and turnkey lines, specializing in the production of deep-drawn cans, re-drawn cans, sanitary or industrial closures, Twist Off closures, aerosol bottoms, among others, using strip presses and full sheet presses.
MELTOG Limited, based in the United Kingdom and active since 1950, has been a leading manufacturer of machinery for the decorative packaging industry. In 1998, it acquired Billoway Twist Off Cap, a Linpack company, strengthening its expertise in the supply of specialized machinery worldwide. Like CEPEDA, MELTOG has a long history in the industry.
In 2017, the two companies decided to join forces, forming the CEPEDAMELTOG joint venture. This alliance has not only allowed both companies to complement their know-how, but also to ensure development and innovation in a sector as competitive as metal packaging.
Twist Off “Angel air” caps
Since then, CEPEDAMELTOG has continued to move forward and has expanded facilities with the opening of a second hall, necessary to accommodate the larger turnkey lines. In addition, major improvements have been made to the full sheet presses, including the redesign and optimization of the racks, the implementation of a state-of-the-art, high-precision sheet positioning system, and a quick format changeover system, allowing us to quickly adapt to different production needs.
One of the most outstanding innovations of CEPEDAMELTOG is the development of new lines and presses for the manufacture of twist-off caps including a manufacturing system for Twist Off caps 99% lint free or “angel hair”. These improvements go hand in hand with the training over the years of a highly qualified technical team allowing us to keep up to date in the quality and efficiency of our products.
