Goglio
leads the market through innovation Offering ready-to-use packaging solutions, from plants to packaging materials, characterized by a high level of technological innovation and reduced environmental impact: this is the philosophy which distinguishes Goglio in the packaging panorama. Davide Jarach, president of Goglio Tianjin Packaging, told us about it. ➥ Fres-co System®is the brand describing Goglio’s business model. Can you explain this concept?
➥ Research and development have always been one of your pillars. How did you build a strength out of it?
Fres-co System® was born in the 1960s, when we added a range of protective and hermetic packaging materials to our machinery and equipment portfolio. To choose the name of this new product line, we launched an internal competition: one of our employees came up with the name Fres-co, an acronym for “fresh container”, which perfectly describes the concept of product freshness at the heart of our brand. Now-a-day, this aspect still represents the synthesis of our corporate philosophy, which is to offer turnkey solutions. Goglio’s aim is to provide the customer not with a simple product, but with a sum of products granting the solution to his packaging problem. It starts from packaging machines to the actual material, passing through additional components specific to the different target sectors, such as degassing valves for coffee or caps and glands for bag-in-box solutions. Last but not least, service is the glue that binds all these aspects together and allows us to give the customer a guarantee of efficiency and effectiveness of the whole process.
Our research and development activity is carried out on several levels. On the one hand, we work to produce packaging material that increasingly meets the needs of the market, i.e. better end-of-life manageability in terms of recyclability or compostability and greater lightness of both innovative and traditional materials. On the other hand, we work in the machinery and plant engineering sector, in which, following the wave of Industry 4.0, we have been developing a system of remote connection of our solutions for some years now. This allows us to provide assistance and collect a series of information on the customer’s performance, which today represent our real assets, so as to increasingly optimize processes. We also offer the Goglio Mind service, a monitoring platform that can also integrate components downstream or upstream of the packaging process.
