Tea Days

ACMA Tea Days 2019

On show

Knowledge - The Tea Experience

ACMA, which in 2019 celebrates 95 years in the business, is a company that specialises in the design, construction and marketing of machines and systems for the packaging of consumer packaged goods, with significant experience in the tea sector. In this context, ACMA’s know-how not only encompasses the specific area of packaging technologies but extends right along the supply chain, taking in the various phases connected with the production and consumption of the beverage: from the cultivation of the tea plant to the process of drying and producing the product, and through to subsequent marketing and consumption phase, which differs according to the reference market. During the event, the world of tea and the time-honoured culture with which it is associated were represented within the Knowledge section. In a dedicated area, guests were able to enjoy an exhibition of innumerable types of tea and objects connected with the consumption of this beverage in various countries, from Japan to England, and from China and India to Morocco. A highly sensory experience based on sounds and smells as well as aesthetics.

Sustainability

The materials used in the packaging of tea were the focal point of the section dedicated to Sustainability, which involved specialist suppliers. During Tea Days the suppliers shared the spaces that hosted the ACMA tea machines to ensure they remained in close proximity to the company both physically and conceptually. In fact, these businesses are key partners of ACMA: thanks to continuous exchange and collaboration, optimum solutions are developed to meet the specific requirements of customers. Partnerships with companies active in the materials sector are also key when it comes to pursuing the sustainability principles adopted some time ago by ACMA which are not only aimed at ensuring savings for customers, for example through the reduced consumption of wrapping materials, but which above all guarantee respect for the environment, proposing solutions with as little impact as possible. Indeed, ACMA proposes solutions that work with sustainable materials in order to guarantee the utmost attention to environmental protection.

Innovation

One of the protagonists of Tea Days was ACMA technology; in the exhibition area customers were able to see the different models that make up its portfolio of solutions dedicated to tea: TM 320, TE 500 and TD 300.

As well as external suppliers, lots of attention was also focused on the technology partnerships with some Coesia companies. These were explored in the Innovation section. Collaboration with the other Group companies is complementary and strategic for the development of customised and complex projects. Tea Days was attended by Atlantic Zeiser, which displayed its latest applications in inline and offline digital printing, designed for track and trace solutions. Flexlink, a company specialised in the creation of product handling systems, exhibited an application based on collaborative robots - cobots - for the palletisation of boxes of tea and two types of conveyor belts. Emmeci, specialised in the creation of boxes for “premium” sectors, wowed our customers during the event with solutions to enrich our current range of secondary tea packaging products.
