The KENRAY team recently travelled to Lisbon for SNACKEX 2026, bringing together businesses and professionals from across the international savoury snacks industry.
As specialists in forming sets and tooling for VFFS and HFFS packaging machinery, SNACKEX is always a valuable opportunity for us to meet with manufacturers, packaging professionals, OEMs and industry partners from around the world.
Talking All Things Snack Packaging
Throughout the show, our team had some great conversations about the challenges facing today’s snack manufacturers and the role that the right packaging tooling can play in overcoming them.
From maintaining pack quality at high production speeds to reducing film waste and getting the best performance from changing packaging materials, it was great to hear first-hand what businesses are experiencing on their production lines.
We were also able to share more about the ways KENRAY supports packaging operations beyond the manufacture of new forming sets, including refurbishment, film testing, technical support and training.
Supporting the Changing Needs of the Snack Industry
The snack packaging sector continues to evolve, with manufacturers looking for ways to improve efficiency while responding to changing materials, sustainability requirements and increasing production demands.
These changes can place new demands on packaging machinery and tooling.
At KENRAY, we work closely with customers to understand the complete application, from the machine and forming set through to the film and finished pack. This allows us to develop solutions designed around the specific requirements of each production environment.
SNACKEX provided another valuable opportunity to discuss these challenges with the people experiencing them every day and to explore how engineering, tooling and technical expertise can help packaging lines Perform Better.
Thank You, Lisbon
