BY COMPANIES
Since 1973, Omag has been designing and manufacturing customized packaging machines for the packaging of powdery, granular, liquid and solid products in sachets and single-dose stick-pack dedicated to the food, cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. The product range is very wide: starting from primary packaging with limited size packaging machines useful for laboratory tests or new product launches to secondary packaging with complete packaging lines for high productivity.
Omag was founded more than 50 year ago and today counts over 130 employees and its export business accounts for 70% of the turnover.
The company has three production plants: one entirely dedicated to the production of components (about 65% is produced internally) and the headquarter of over 6000 square meters where mechanical and electronic design, machinery assembly and testing take place. Redoubled workforce and production capacity place Omag in a more competitive position and makes possible to reduce the lead-time between order handling, designing and building. In this way scheduled deadline will be respected and customer satisfaction is ensured: this is an imperative for Omag, engaged in offering more and more focused sales and after-sales services, based on dialogue, collaboration and productive exchange.
International sales network and, thanks to agents and distributors, a global presence, which is also supported by two foreign sales offices.
Dedicated technologies for the pharmaceutical sector
Omag’s offer for the pharmaceutical sector consists of a wide range of packaging machines – horizontal or vertical, continuous or intermittent motion – according to the customer’s specific production needs. In fact, packaging machines can be equipped with different dosing systems for powdery, granular, liquid and pasty products, combined with robotic counting systems, cartoning machines and a wide range of optionals such as markers, smart cameras, sensors, etc.
At the technological level, issues concerning IOT, augmented reality and sustainability remain focal points to which much of the R&D investment is devoted.
In addition, Omag is testing and implementing predictive maintenance processes on packaging machines: thanks to IoT technologies, remote control and machine interconnection, in the very near future it will be possible to constantly monitor the performance and status of packaging machines, receive specific information on individual machine components so as to intervene more effectively at the customer’s premises and zero in on the risks of downtime.
Focus on Sustainability
Always focused on performance and flexibility, Omag is committed to an additional aspect: sustainability. Therefore, Omag decided to subject one of our flagship machines to an analysis process to assess its overall sustainability profile and measure its environmental impact at all stages of its cycle, from design to end of life. In this way, the company was able to act consciously on several fronts with the goal of increasing energy efficiency, reducing raw material consumption, and involving the supply chain in a path based on real sustainability goals and value creation. The 360-degree environmental impact assessment demonstrated not only the sustainability of the packaging machine under analysis, but of the company as a whole. In fact, the assessment showed that Omag produces most of its components in-house, and that it manages to obtain completely transparent information on all materials used in the development of the machine. In addition, it also showed how the company creates its solutions with a design that includes the use of recycled components, with the goal of achieving ‘near-zero waste’ from a circular economy perspective.
In addition, the assessment revealed that Omag implements highly energy-efficient solutions, achieving energy savings of 20%.
To crown this commitment, it was revealed that the company employs constant research and development in design: the modularity of the assemblies that make up the packaging machine simplifies the eventual repair, replacement and cleaning of components.
Customer at the center: Omag as a reliable all-around partner
An important novelty concerns secondary packaging: we used to supply complete lines by working with partners, while now, thanks to continuous investment in research and development and favorable tests on different prototypes, Omag is finally able to offer a complete 360° solution, from primary to secondary packaging.
We want to be a reliable partner for the customer, able to offer a complete, easy-to-use and intelligent solution that allows monitoring all parameters and intervening – even remotely – to solve any anomalies. In this way, production is continuous, downtime is minimized, and losses are minimized.
My-O: new Omag’s dedicated customer portal
With the aim of offering the best customer experience, the brand new My-O portal was launched in recent months. This is an online reserved area and accessible to Omag customers that allows them to consult the documents of their machines and lines, from certificates to machine manual, from electric and pneumatic schemes to spare part list, organized by contents and by machine models.
In addition, customers can view the 3D of the machine making easy the spare parts offer, in a secure way and with the 24-hours support of the Service Omag.
