In the beginning it was just an idea. We remember when Jason Watt and his colleagues visited our booth at IAOM in 2014, dreaming of a packaging machine for Kansas State University.

Today, the time has come. FAWEMA has successfully delivered and installed a packing machine at Hal Ross Mill, capable of handling 2 and 5 lbs, on our second attempt.

The journey wasn’t without its challenges. The first machine we delivered in 2020 was quickly sold to a customer due to an urgent packaging demand. Additionally, with the pandemic causing most students at KSU to study remotely. The supply chain problem then delayed the production of the second machine, which we designed a little bit smaller, due to the short experience with the first machine in the mill.

But here we are - 10 years after that first conversation - celebrating the successful installation. 
We would like to thank the responsible team at KSU for their support and patience. In the end, the students now have the opportunity to learn about solid packaging technology during their studies and perhaps learn to love it for future tasks.
