RND Automation Expands Product Portfolio with QuickPouch Buy
RND Automation, a subsidiary of CAS Holdings, recently announced an exciting milestone in its growth journey by acquiring QuickPouch's intellectual property and assets. This strategic acquisition is set to significantly enhance RND Automation's offerings in the packaging industry, where QuickPouch has a noteworthy history.
QuickPouch's Legacy in the Packaging Industry
QuickPouch has been a notable player in the packaging sector, transitioning from research and development applications to producing millions of pouches annually. Its systems are operational worldwide, catering to a diverse range of products, such as healthcare items, IVD test kits, surgical instruments, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and both consumer and industrial goods.
Strategic Advantages of the Acquisition
The acquisition of QuickPouch is a significant advantage for RND Automation. Patrick McDermott, President and CRO of CAS Holdings, highlights that this strategic move fortifies their packaging portfolio and strengthens their market position in pouch-based packaging machinery. He states, "This empowers us to deliver more comprehensive packaging solutions our customers have been asking for."
Aiming for a Market Transformation
Founded in Ronkonkoma, QuickPouch primarily served the medical industry, producing numerous pouches each month. However, it faced challenges leading to a late filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which resulted in the selling off of its assets. RND Automation seized the opportunity and acquired QuickPouch's intellectual property earlier this year.
Commitment to Enhanced Solutions
Aaron Laine, Executive Managing Director at RND, affirms the commitment to expanding product offerings, emphasizing that this acquisition aligns with their vision of providing superior packaging solutions. RND aims to integrate QuickPouch’s innovations with their existing product lines, such as the MiniPack, MicroPack, and Kanga Poucher, to improve performance and streamline operations, ultimately benefiting their clients.
Prioritizing Customer Experience
Improving customer service is paramount at RND. According to Steve Bostic, Manager of Sales, Applications Engineering, and Service, the focus on spare part availability and enhancing customer experience is vital. "We encourage all QuickPouch customers to reach out to RND for support—we're here to help," he assures.
Dedicated Support for QuickPouch Customers
To further aid QuickPouch customers, Mathew Boyd, RND’s Services and Spare Parts Supervisor, will assist clients seeking service support, ensuring prompt and effective solutions for any encountered issues.
Excitement for the Future
Angela Desmond and James Pritchard, key account managers for RND Automation, express their enthusiasm for this acquisition. Angela shares her excitement about introducing QuickPouch solutions to her clients, noting that this acquisition opens new avenues for enhanced packaging options. Meanwhile, James mentions how this integration allows RND to deliver even more value to customers.
