Robopac wrapping machines in Mexico Walmart de México y Central America has chosen Robopac as a reference supplier for the wrapping machines used in its numerous product distribution centers spread throughout Mexico.
Thanks to the local distributor Eurotecsa, Robopac could further consolidate the alliance with the American giant, world leader in the distribution of food products.
Walmex (Walmart of Mexico and Central America) has a turnover of more than 25.41 billion dollars (2018) and has 2,358 stores for a total of more than 9 million square meters of retail space.
Mexico is Walmart‘s largest market outside the United States, accounting for 5% of global sales.
When evaluating which technological packaging solutions to adopt, Walmart first asked the distributor Eurotecsa for maximum protection of palletized products, due to the need for long transports that take place on roads that are not in perfect condition. Another prerogative for Walmart has been to obtain reliable, durable and easy-to-use machines.
Also in the area of service, Walmart requested the possibility of on-site maintenance of the machine.
The quality of the machines, with cutting-edge technology, added to the immediate availability of machines and spare parts by Eurotecsa, the high quality of the stretch film and the 24/7 service guaranteed by the sub-distributors have been the success factors of the operation.
In terms of stretch film wrapping machines, in 2019 Walmart de Mexico and Central America purchased 72 new Robopac machines.
Currently, the 170 used wrappers come from the same Italian supplier. In particular, the Robopac machines that operate in the eight destruction centers of the Mexican Walmarts for non-perishable products are: 117 Masterplat PGS, the rotating tables capable of protecting the product and saving film thanks to their pre-sealing that they incorporate as standard; 32 Ecoplat PPS rotary tables ; 12 semi-automatic rotary arm wrappers Masterwrap XL; 6 Ecoplat Plus FRD; 3 Masterplat FRD.
