Greif-Velox connect 2025

GREIF-VELOX is one of the oldest companies in the world with 1,000 years of company history: In the year 1,100, monks founded the Greifenmühle in Klützow in Pomerania, laying the foundations for many centuries of practical experience in efficient bagging, filling and palletizing. Ernst Mahlkuch, whose family had owned the Greifenmühle since 1734, used this experience to found GREIF-WERKE in 1938, which has been designing and producing innovative bagging machines and filling systems ever since. After 1945, GREIF-VELOX grew out of this foundation in Lübeck, Germany, with over 150 experts, who cultivate the tradition of over 1,000 years of innovation culture every day and thus constantly set new benchmarks in the industry. Customers do not need standard solutions off the shelf, but individual concepts and developments. As a rule, this individuality not only increases production quality and quantity, but also leads to strong competitive advantages that quickly pay for themselves. On request, GREIF-VELOX can supply complete full-line systems including robot palletizing and load securing from a single source to further enhance these advantages for the customer.

Why is it worthwhile for customers to consider the system and packaging together in packaging processes and optimize the entire process as a unit? In the “CheckTalk”, Björn Voges, Global Marketing Manager at Greif-Velox, and Peter Perrone, Business Developer at paper sack manufacturer dy-pack, talk about how the collaboration works in the best interests of the customer. After all, maximum efficiency, product protection and sustainability can only be achieved if the machine and packaging are perfectly coordinated under the motto “Clean Cycle of Packaging”.

Lean production optimized systems reduce waste, increase productivity and ensure maximum efficiency - from development to operation. - Up to 80 % faster product changes - Avoid production errors - Flexible filling - Longer service life Lean production refers to an organized production system with the goal of maximizing production efficiency and minimizing waste (Muda). Production companies use lean production in order to be competitive in globalized production competition. In lean production, the methods 5S, Kaizen, Just-in-Time (JIT), Total Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED), Value Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) are used. Whether the implementation of lean production in a company is successful is measured using the seven key figures lead time (delivery time), cycle time, throughput, utilization, error rate, value-added ratio and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Employees are a key success factor in lean production. Their involvement in decisions and improvement processes, training to expand their skills and their ability to make improvements independently
