Kingsway Confectionery (KC), a family-owned company specialising in packaging retail-ready products, has strengthened its position as a leading confectionery packaging company in Australia through its longstanding partnership with TNA solutions. In its latest facility upgrade, TNA's integrated packaging solution has enabled KC to increase production capacity by 50 %. With state-of-the-art, TNA offers fast change-overs, superior product flexibility, easy maintenance and cleaning, and optimised speed performance.

To remain competitive, KC recognised the need for machinery that could enhance performance and speed. Seeking a solution that could support a wide range of bag sizes, cater to its diverse customer base, and provide a strong return on investment, KC integrated a third tna robag® vertical form, fill and seal packaging system into its production line. The robag® is renowned for its performance, offering exceptional speed and flexibility. It empowered KC to efficiently package any type of snack or food application. Raymond Wicks, General Manager of KC, attested to the significant impact of the integration: "Adding a third robag machine increased our capacity by 50 %. We went from 40–59 bpm to 80–100 bpm for bag sizes spanning anywhere from 30 to 400 grams."

To improving speed and efficiency, the tna robag® seamlessly fit into operations as a complete solution. The integration with the tna intelliweigh® alpha provided a simple and accurate weighing solution, enhancing flexibility for rapid product changeovers. Beyond enhanced packaging capabilities, KC also highlighted the importance of timely technical support and readily available spare parts. TNA's commitment to customer support ensured that Kingsway Confectionery could resolve any challenges efficiently. TNA’s highly skilled technical support team, coupled with the availability of necessary parts, enabled KC to minimise downtime and maintain operational excellence. Raymond expressed his satisfaction with TNA's support, stating, "Over the last 14 years, we wouldn't have had a machine down for longer than a day due to TNA's team helping us."
