2010 – Europrogetti and Fuchu Shiko Japan


The first auto rigid-box making machine made through the joint alliance of Japanese company Fuchu Shiko and Italian firm Europrogetti was launched on September 16, 2011. The FS175 is currently the most advanced machine in the high-end cardboard market. It meets Auto rigid-box making machine processing requirements and can produce dozens of boxes designed with special structures. The machine can also fold the upper corners of paper 70mm deep, a feat no other device in the world can manage.

The introduction of the FS175 will bring about a revolution in the packaging box processing industry (e.g. for high-end smart phones and tablet PCs) by facilitating the switch from manual operation to automated production.

Established in 1990, the Italian paperboard machinery manufacturer Europrogetti mainly produces Auto rigid-box making machine and cover-forming machines. The company is well known in the US and Europe market and is in the top of Auto rigid-box making machine manufacturers in the world along with Fuchu Shiko.

Lamberto Saletti, General Manager of Europrogetti, signed a global strategic partnership agreement with Yoichiro Miyake, President of Fuchu Shiko, in Hiroshima in October 2010. This marked a significant change in the manufacturing processes used in the global Auto rigid-box making machine processing equipment field.

For the first time, the FS175 will be displayed in China at SinoFoldingCarton 2012. The trade event will be held from April 11 to April 13 at Guangdong Modern International Exhibition Center in Dongguan. Visitors are welcome to come and assess the FS175, first-hand at Booth 1C65-69.
