Pattyn came highly recommended as the go-to packaging machine manufacturer for frozen foods, and from the very first contact, the collaboration has been great. Everything went smoothly right through to the assembly, which was completed right on schedule.

Vigap invested in a machine with a 3D counting system that automatically batches products with precision. The final step is a semi-automatic box taper that ensures everything is neatly packaged.

Mr. Pistone is a big fan of Pattyn's machines, praising their gentle handling of frozen products, which minimizes damage.

Vigap highly recommends Pattyn for their incredible accuracy in piece counting and smooth operation, with no bottlenecks.
