COVID-19: Rapid increase in orders for packaging machines and films: EU/Focus on food safety
COVID-19:
Packaging machine and packaging film:
Ishida (Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City) will strengthen its response to the demand for food packaging as the new coronavirus infection spreads.
In Europe and the United States, orders for packaging machines and packaging films are increasing.
Traditionally, naked sales were common at overseas vegetable counters.
However, the need for individual packaging is increasing due to anti-virus measures.
European Fresh Vegetables and Fruits Association:
“The EU consumers tend to prefer packaged fresh foods with a focus on food safety,” said the new Corona evaluation.
Similar movements have emerged in the US and Asia.
Food packaging demand:
Even in Japan, there is an increasing demand for machines and films that can be wrapped in stores such as supermarkets because individual fruits and vegetables are lined up.
Individual packaging is also increasing at bakeries.
Japanese film:
In Europe and the United States, “a film made in Japan with a low environmental load” is required.
Orders from packaging machine manufacturer Ishida are rapidly increasing.
A low-priced model of the “weight checker” that inspects the mass on the production line / local production will start soon.
