2012: A major year for Cermex in China CERMEX

The Beijing plant of Cermex, Sidel’s subsidiary specializing in secondary packaging and palletizing solutions, will deliver its 100th machine assembled in China in early 2012.

Effective in 2008, Cermex decided to set up a local presence in Beijing, near Sidel’s plant, in order to fulfill two goals. First was the objective of participating, under good competitive conditions, in the growth of the Chinese market, by local assembly of a seamless shrink wrapping solution and a layer by layer palletizing unit, adapted to high-speed beverage bottling lines. The second goal was to have an extensive and experienced technical support team based locally in order to serve the Group’s Chinese customers as quickly as possible. Contributing within its field to Sidel’s added value as a reliable and sustainable partner worldwide, Cermex has made customer proximity one of its major strengths. The company now has 75 employees in China. The milestone of 100 machines delivered will be reached in early 2012. Technical support is provided by a full team, composed of Installation Manager, Field Service Engineers and after-sales service expert.
