These two ideas are central in the design & manufacture of all our machinery.” Tamegar continues to grow by developing new packaging machinery, & through the opening of new markets both domestically & internationally.

Packaging Industry News
Corrugated board is the N°1 transport packaging material for fruit and vegetables logistics in Europe. More than 70% of all transported produce uses trays made from corrugated board. Each year Europeans consume more than 50 million tons of fresh fruit and vegetables, and experts predict this trend will continue to increase. As a result, the market outlook for corrugated board is good. Why is corrugated so successful? Corrugated board uses only a minimum amount of material to provide a maximum amount of protection. It is also lightweight and features excellent machine processing capabilities, but flexibility is its most decisive advantage. Fruit and vegetable trays made of corrugated board can be tailored to suit your individual requirements or be delivered in standard, easy-to-stack sizes.
