The Concept represents ESATEC in Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia: carton tray forming, in-line paper e-commerce mailer production and large-format corrugated joining, specified, installed and supported for GCC converters and packaging producers.
ESATEC designs and manufactures packaging machinery in Puymoyen, France. The company has 36 years of expertise, more than 275 customers worldwide and more than 640 machines installed, all manufactured in France.
Every project runs from mechanical, electrical and automation design through assembly and factory testing to installation, commissioning, operator training, spare parts and maintenance. The Concept represents ESATEC in Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and manages each project locally.
Beyond the three machines on this page, ESATEC builds window patching, pick-and-place card affixing, bottle cartoning and vinyl record packaging machines, as well as tailored lines with integrated robots. The Concept can scope any ESATEC machine for projects in the region.
Designed, machined, assembled and tested by ESATEC in France before shipment.
Brushless servo feeders and pushers on the FB 1000; independent servo-driven vacuum streams on the JOINER 500.
Adjustable forming towers, motorised width adjustment and touchscreens that store every production setting for reuse.
Touch control panels connect remotely for service and software updates.
Installation, commissioning, operator training, spare parts and maintenance, coordinated by The Concept.
Three machines for three packaging formats: carton food and produce trays, paper e-commerce mailers and large corrugated cases.
Forms and glues carton board and micro-flute trays: chip scoops, clamshells, take-away trays, trays with lids and vegetable trays.
In-line paper mailer line. Unwinds 2 or 3 Kraft reels, then prints, embosses, laminates, creases, folds, seals and applies tear and release tapes in a single pass.
Large-format joining, folding and gluing line for corrugated cases: two board sheets are joined into one, then folded, glued and delivered as finished cases on the outfeed conveyor.
Define products, formats, materials and target output; confirm site power, compressed air and floor space.
ESATEC configures the machine or line to your formats, then assembles and tests it in France.
Delivery, installation, commissioning and operator training on site.
Spare parts, remote technical support and maintenance for the life of the machine.
Chip scoops, clamshells and take-away trays formed from carton board (FB 1000).
Fruit and vegetable trays for growers, packers and retailers (FB 1000).
Paper mailers with tear strip and self-seal closure for online orders (paper mailer line).
Flat and gusseted mailers sized from 100 × 150 mm to 400 × 500 mm (paper mailer line).
Large shipping cases, with optional crash-lock bottoms formed in the same pass (JOINER 500).
Large-format cases for appliances, furniture and bulk goods (JOINER 500).
