IMA’s expertise spans tableting, coating, dosing, filling and capping, as well as cartoning, wrapping and end-of-line operations. By combining processing and packaging technologies, the company aims to provide flexible and customised systems capable of responding to changing product formats, production demands and market requirements.
Integrated confectionery packaging technology at Pack Expo 2026
At Pack Expo 2026, visitors will be able to see a complete confectionery packaging line for small bars operating on the IMA stand. The integrated solution will demonstrate several technologies from across the group’s portfolio.
The line features the IMA Delta Systems row removal system, which is integrated with the Eagle flow wrapper to provide high-performance individual wrapping of confectionery products. Designed to support efficient product handling and reliable packaging performance, the combination forms the first stage of the complete line on display.
Product dosing is handled by IMA Ilapak’s WA 16-10 SLIM multi-head weigher. The compact, high-speed weighing solution has been developed specifically for delicate products, combining accurate dosing with gentle handling. It also offers operational flexibility and hygienic performance for manufacturers working with a variety of confectionery and snack applications.
Completing the line is the new DOYTRONIC 60, a compact and versatile stand-up pouch machine designed to produce multipacks in reclosable Doypacks. The machine is intended to combine production efficiency with strong shelf presentation while offering consumers the convenience of a resealable packaging format.
Together, the technologies demonstrate IMA’s ability to provide integrated end-to-end packaging systems designed to maximise productivity, protect product integrity and improve overall operational efficiency.
Sustainable packaging and digital manufacturing solutions
Alongside its machinery portfolio, IMA will also highlight its work supporting manufacturers with the research and development of new sustainable packaging styles and materials. This includes helping companies assess packaging formats that can respond to changing environmental requirements while maintaining the necessary levels of protection, performance and production efficiency.
The company will additionally present its Cognitive Manufacturing products and services, reflecting the growing role of digitalisation, data and intelligent technologies within confectionery and snack production.
IMA specialists will be available throughout Pack Expo to discuss individual processing and packaging requirements and explore how its technologies can be configured to suit specific products, production environments and future manufacturing needs.
