dly expanding business, a closely knit team with thirty years of experience behind it, an extensive international sales network, a rapid pre-sales and after-sales assistance service, great operational flexibility and an ability to anticipate the needs of a constantly changing market: these are some of the characteristics that in only a few years have established Makro Labelling of Marmirolo as a national and international reference point in industrial labelling for the beverage, food and detergent sectors.Every machine in the company’s range is known for exceptional modularity and flexibility, and for an ability to label between 1500 and 45,000 bottles per hour, applying up to five label parts per bottle. Makro Labelling’s patented star wheel movement system allows the same machine to process various bottle formats. All machine structural elements are made entirely from stainless steel or are finished with industrial anticorrosion treatments for maximum hygiene and durability over time. Makro Labelling produces nine models of labelling machine: Mak0 to Mak8; four models of labelling unit: Mak AN, AS, AHS1 and AHS2; three models of cold glue unit: Mak G, GHS and GLL; and a new hot melt gluing unit. All Makro Labelling machines are CE marked and conform to applicable EU directives.
Massimo Manzotti, Chairman and Sales Director of Makro Labelling, declares: “We are delighted with the results we achieved in 2013. Despite the dramatic effects of the crisis on the international market, we closed 2013 with a 20% growth in turnover, consolidated our exports which now account for 90% of our business, and made major investments to develop our company, our sales network and our workforce. We shall be using this greater potential to penetrate new markets and continue to grow in 2014. Our vast experience and technical expertise, combined with the creativity and motivation of our people, have been key to success on the road to innovation and growth.”
In 2013, three new figures were selected to work alongside the five founding shareholders: sales manager Massimo Manzotti, joint production managers Cesare Lavarini and son Luca, electronic engineer Simone Marcantoni, mechanical engineer Marco Bellini, and purchasing and administration manager Stefano Ghizzi. The new additions were Nicola Manzotti, who will work as spare parts manager, Silvia Ghizzi, a new assistant sales manager and Niccolò Bellini who will join the technical section of the design department.
More than a simple growth in numbers this expansion represents real generational change and confirms the solidity and dynamism of Makro Labelling and its commitment to becoming even more competitive, expanding into new markets and maximising company potential.
Makro Labelling is planning to move into new premises half way through 2014. The new plant will occupy 11,000 square metres of land with a factory building of 3000 square metres in Goito, in the province of Mantua, some 15 km from the provincial capital. The new plant will give the company a lot more space to grow and will provide far larger offices and production facilities.
