With both companies being market leading and family-owned, the new collaboration presents great potential. Through the years, Schur has collaborated with Ishida on various automation solutions to joint customers, and the two brands have also co-presented at tradeshows. However, the two companies are now ready to bring their collaboration to the next level. Johan Schur, CEO of Schur and 6th generation of management says: “In Schur, we pride ourselves of being Leader of the Pack as a total solution supplier within packaging and automation. Thus, we are extremely proud to announce this new partnership with Ishida. They produce industry leading products within weighing and quality control, which we have previously offered on our auto-mated packing lines and now look forward to offering to the market as official Ishida supplier. We are certain that the shared synergies and values between Schur and Ishida will create unrivalled possibilities for our customers.” Dave Tiso, Managing Director from Ishida Europe, explains their high expectations to the new cooperation followingly: “As we have previously co-created different projects with Schur, we know that our solutions and mindsets are a good match. Schur is well-established on the Danish market – and in Scandinavia - with their packaging and automation solutions, so they can be a great partner in gaining more market share and introducing new solutions to future Ishida/Schur customers."
