Caltech represents SMI, who are regarded to be one of the top 5 manufacturers globally for PET Stretch Blow Moulders, and arguably the best in the world for end-of-line packaging machinery. SMI, whose factories are based in the same valley as San Pellegrino in Italy, is also a family-owned company that prides itself on well-designed and manufactured machinery that is ergonomic, reliable, and competitive in price. All parts are manufactured in-house, from the mechanical components through to the CPU chips and PLCs. Considered to be highly advantageous, the lead time on parts is minimised and the longevity of the machines is extended as parts and components don’t become obsolete.
SMI manufactures complete PET lines up to speeds of 50,000 BPH, and with favourable lead times – SMI are an excellent partner for your next project.
Caltech will be joined by our partners P.E. Labellers. P.E. Labellers are global leaders in the design and production of labelling machines. At the forefront of labelling technology, P.E.
