This post originally appeared on sewtec.co.uk. Sewtec is now part of AIR.
New partnership with Sewtec and Klippenstein

Sewtec has established a new international partnership with Californian machine builders, Klippenstein Corporation.

Klippenstein are a special purpose machine builder and packaging equipment manufacturer that have been operating across a wide variety of industries since 1979. Based in California, USA, they provide end of line solutions and packaging equipment from semi-automatic case sealers to fully automatic case and tray forming. They are also partners with Fanuc Robotics, Fuji, and Marken-Imaje.

This newly formed partnership with Sewtec enables both companies to offer high quality bespoke automation services across the western states of America. In collaboration with Klippenstein’s team of factory trained service technicians we can also offer a full spares and support service to local customers.

Sewtec can now offer increased support to customers operating in the 11 Western States of North America : California, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Washington.

Andy Perks, head of sales at Sewtec commented “The new partnership with Klippenstein is another positive step for Sewtec and our international strategy. We can provide our usual high quality specialist bespoke automation and if required the expert engineering team at Klippenstein can also manage the installation and ongoing support of our systems.”

Ken Klippenstein, president of Klippenstein Corporation also added “Klippenstein Corporation is proud to be partnering with Sewtec. We believe our shared values in providing customized and innovative automation will help us deliver even better solutions to our customers.”
