At PACK EXPO Las Vegas, SOMIC is demonstrating in booth SL 6460 the newest version of the SOMIC ReadyPack with GOYA products packed in stand-up pouches. The new machine GOYA has ordered is SOMIC’s 424 T2+ case packer, which rivals ReadyPack’s performance but on a slightly larger platform, said Peter Fox, SOMIC’s Senior Vice President of Sales. He indicated the machine is being designed to handle wraparound case packing of both stand-up pouches and cartons.

GOYA Foods is the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the U.S. As the premier source for authentic Latin cuisine, it produces over 2,500 products from the Caribbean, Mexico, Spain, and Central and South America.  Award-winning olive oils, beverages, confectionery, marinades, organic products, frozen items and others are prepared and shipped to stores in bottles and jars, cans, and flexible packaging.

Disney Arrubla, Executive Plant Engineer at GOYA’s manufacturing facility in Seacaucus, N.J., said a compact design, speed, packaging flexibility, and future considerations factored into his decision.
