Beaverton, MI (August 15, 2024) – BMG is a global leader in full-service thermoforming packaging and automation technology. This group of highly skilled personnel has historically been the leader in the development and manufacturing of industry-changing improvements for the entire thermoforming end-to-end processes, which has for years benefitted manufacturers of packaging products. BMG continues to engineer innovations that provide its customers with world-class solutions, shorter developmental lead times, and outstanding executional design flexibility.
A lot of the major players in the thermoformed packaging business are struggling to transition from plastic to paper in an effort to be more environmentally conscious and still be able to use multiple substrates in their manufacturing processes. BMG recognized this need and has engineered two new multi-functional modular platforms that allow manufacturers to produce end-use products in many different materials to satisfy their customers’ needs and do it with less downtime, minimal floor space, and on modular multi-use platforms.
If you’re looking for the ultimate plug-and-play modularity, the BMG NXT & Fiber Platforms are for you.
The need for a multi-functional modular solution has been driven by the forces behind environmental concerns. One of the most critical topics in the general packaging industry is what companies are doing to alleviate the excess build-up of non-recyclable or sustainable commodities that end up in landfills and our oceans. Well, BMG is doing what it takes to shape the next steps in a sustainable thermoforming packaging future that is better for the planet and its inhabitants.
If you‘ve been thinking about transitioning from plastic to paper thermoforming but would like options for both, the BMG NXT & Fiber modular platforms could be the answer. BMG partners with you in your search for a technology that can offer a plastic tray replacement that is sustainable, economical, has great tensile strength, is versatile, and has excellent sealability. They can do the same for fiber-based needs. They are exactly what you’ve been searching for, and it’s all on a modular platform—the new BMG NXT & Fiber Platforms.
Because of these two new platforms and their modularity coefficient, manufacturers are allowed not only to add on and adjust their production process but also to have ease of access to all critical components from either side for changeouts and maintenance. True universal modular functionality isn’t all that these platforms offer; they boast the largest forming area and best-in-class cycle rates, unparalleled flexibility, and top-tier tonnage. The ergonomic design prioritizes safety, featuring quick-change tooling for one-person changeovers, ensuring immediate efficiency. Proven reliability with center toggle design guarantees high-quality parts every cycle. The floor space-friendly platforms outshine in parts per minute, providing greater output. These incredible modular solutions are bespoke with best-in-class innovation. The updated control design ensures an intuitive experience, is ready for future AI upgrades, and promises seamless integration. BMG is your constant partner, elevating output and quality effortlessly. At BMG, they take a global view of what it takes to create advancements in the thermoforming industry that will drive critical change.
So, if you are looking for a partner who will help lead the charge toward leaving the planet better than you found it. Look no further. BMG is constantly pushing engineering solutions towards minimizing their clients’ carbon footprints and turning towards the use of sustainable materials that have a better impact on the planet and helping these same clients with their overall sustainability planning for the extended use of environmentally friendly technology that can produce packaging that fits current government regulatory rules and the ask of the general consumer at large.
That’s right, it’s time for some options.
The NXT & Fiber platforms are just the beginning of BMG’s continued focus on the future standards in technology that provide the best sustainability coefficients in the business, mainly focused on solving regulatory and public concerns around single-use packaging waste while providing excellent ROI. They are combining with other influential, like-minded technology companies to drive significant changes in consumer packaging worldwide. Regulators are actively moving on this issue, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies and retailers are proactively making bold commitments to improve both the sustainability of their packaging and fundamentally rethinking their packaging systems.
“We are constantly thinking about, creating, and engineering sustainable solutions in our product offerings. Our new NXT & Fiber platforms are the most modular production platforms on the market and are key to driving new manufacturing solutions that allow for production improvements that assist our customers in reducing their carbon footprint, addressing their sustainability concerns for the future, and ultimately manufacturing smarter,” said BMG CEO Koben Miceli.
What they do and why they do it.
Material choices have the potential to dictate performance, durability, sustainability, and the impact they will have on the environment and the ever-evolving consumer preferences model. Some material choices are good for the planet, and others are not; BMG knows the difference and can show customers how to utilize the new NXT MOD 10 Platform or the NXT Fiber configuration. Each is built with modularity in mind, and either platform is customizable if you need to pre-punch, add a station, stack, add a station, larger oven, trade it out. All of this is possible and can be done in a fraction of the time due to the modularity coefficient of either platform while still making it profitable through the use of specific process engineering solutions.
