Responding to rising demand for its innovative flexible packaging equipment as well as more complete integrated systems, Barry-Wehmiller is creating two new divisions dedicated to meeting the need of the rising demand for its flexible packaging equipment and for systems integration. 

On Jan. 1, the flexible packaging experts from Hayssen Flexible Systems and the bag converting and bag filling divisions of Thiele Technologies will come together to form a single team as BW Flexible Systems. Led by Doug McGraw, BW Flexible Systems will specialize in the development, manufacture and sales of flexible packaging equipment including horizontal and vertical form-fill- seal solutions, bag converting, and filling-sealing of pre-made bags. The team will also integrate scales and bag palletizers.

At the same time, the BW Container Systems team and the end of line teams from Thiele Technologies will merge to become BW Integrated Systems. This new business offers a full range of end-of-line packaging equipment, including case packing, cartoning, palletizing, de-palletizing, robotics, conveyance, and controls. BW Integrated Systems will also act as the integration arm when clients are looking for complete integrated lines.
