Duravant’s lifecycle management via the company’s SupportPro services also gives our customers broader access to value-added solutions that will help their operations achieve their productivity and efficiency goals.”

The Votech brand of packaging machinery has been a competitive force in filling and bag management for over a decade. Votech’s deep engineering and development capabilities allow for the custom design of complete automated solutions from the filling of a bag, to the internal pallet transport to the warehouse.

“Our partnership with Duravant opens the path for Votech’s geographic expansion and growth in Europe, the Middle-East, Africa and North America,” adds Pierre Dierckx, Director of Operations. “We’re thrilled to also collaborate with nVenia, Duravant’s US-based operating company serving customers across a wide array of industrial end markets and consumer packaged goods.” The Votech solution set for powders applications is highly complementary with the nVenia product range across primary, secondary and end-of-line packaging.
