FROMM - Unitising and Palletising Systems

The FROMM Group designs, develops and produces a wide variety of systems for unitising and palletising goods for transport: strapping machines and systems, pallet stretch wrapping machines, and the patented Airpad pillow system, together with all necessary consumables.

Semi-automatic and automatic stretch wrapping machines

The stretch-machines business unit is responsible for the marketing, production, sales and after-sales of the FROMM wrapping machines. A complete range of machines can be offered, from semi-automatic budget FS1 'CENTO' with low pre-stretch, to the famous FS4xx with 400% two-motor pre-stretch unit. Self-propelling robots, orbital and fully automatic wrapping machines are also included in the complete package which FROMM can offer.

Plastic strapping tools

In addition to the conventional systems for steel strapping, FROMM has developed equipment for polyester strapping. This new type of strapping is flexible, absorbing shock impact during shipping, loading and unloading more effectively than steel strapping.

Protective packaging and void-filling material

Product protection and void-filling with air, the compact, portable and easy-to-use Airpad machine produces protective packaging and void-filling material at the touch of a button. No operator is required.

Automatic and semi-automatic strapping machines

FROMM builds a full range of semi- and fully automatic strapping systems for integration into production lines. The machines are available for various industries and applications. Each system is custom built, meeting the exact packaging requirements for the respective industry and application.

Production centres for polyester plastic strapping and multilayer blown films

STARstrap™ plastic strappings are produced in the FROMM production centres exclusively from recycled polyester bottle material on a modern, state-of-the-art extrusion plant. These bands guarantee the high quality of the strapping carried out with FROMM machines and equipment.

All kinds of film types for the Airpad pillow material are produced on blown film extrusion machines. Special film types guarantee a high loading capacity of the individual pillow elements. The plants are certified in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14000.

We have production plants in Germany, Chile and Thailand to serve customers all around the world.
