Jenton International has extended its distributor agreement for high-performance Emplex bag & pouch sealing equipment. The deal with Canada-based flexible packaging specialist PlexPack has expanded from its current scope in the UK to include Benelux, with immediate effect.
UK-based Jenton offers a wide range of Emplex equipment for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and medical markets, including standard and custom-designed continuous bag sealers, hot air sealers, automated bagging, integrated systems and add-ons. PlexPack will now make some of these available on their platform to the Benelux region.
Emplex continuous band sealers have sealing and pressure components designed for the medical industry and produce precise, consistent and strong seals whether the product is hand-fed or conveyorised.
Richard Little, Managing Director at Jenton International, said: “With packaging weight needing to be reduced whilst shelf life and performance is still required, we see great potential for the future and look forward to exploring new opportunities within key target markets across the Benelux region.”
What is coming to Benelux

Both machines create high quality, moisture proof, oxygen-free packages and are ideal for customers who require more than five bags a minute.
Another model included in the deal is The Emplex MPS 6100 series is a basic band sealer with a range of standard features and capabilities whilst the MPS 6500 is the conveyor version used for bags over 2Ib or for particular product orientation. The Emplex MPS 7000 is a heavy-duty band sealer engineered for demanding environments.
