Tekpak Automation will demonstrate the benefits of robotics for manufacturers across the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries at interpack 2026, with a live working demonstration of a pick-and-place cell on Stand A15/Hall 16.
Tekpak is known for solving complex packaging line challenges with proven, modular automation. Built on over 25 years’ experience supporting pharmaceutical and food manufacturers, its systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing lines, fit constrained spaces and enable tool-less changeovers.
Tekpak’s team of experts will be on hand at interpack to showcase the firm’s portfolio of automated packaging solutions. The centerpiece will be the TD3/R Series – a dynamic 3-axis robotic pick-and-place cell suitable for loading or stacking products into trays, cases, cartons, a thermoformer or a flow-wrapper infeed.
Ideal in cleanroom environments or where space is limited, the compact automated system is inherently flexible, offering rapid size change capability and boasting a quick-change gripper for multiple formats.
Highly accurate thanks to robot positional accuracy of +/- 0.1mm and position tracking using vision control, the system also offers manufacturers superior product control, gentle handling and optimal safety functions – along with easy-to-use controls and accessible touch-screen displays.
“Rising energy costs, labour shortages and increasing operational pressure are putting significant strain on manufacturers’ margins, and many are being forced to rethink how their lines perform,” says Frankie Rose, technical sales manager at Tekpak.
“Our accurate, reliable and modular automation solutions are helping customers reduce operating costs while improving OEE. We’re looking forward to demonstrating how our pick-and-place technology delivers this in practice at interpack.”
Beyond pick-and-place, Tekpak supports a wide range of applications, from cartoning and case packing to full packaging lines, with turnkey integration available where required.
Taking place in Düsseldorf from 7-13 May 2026, interpack is the world’s leading trade fair for the packaging industry and will once again highlight the latest equipment, innovations and trends across a multitude of sectors.
