TECO s.r.l., a company manufacturing machines for cardboard packaging, with a family management was founded on January 1995 and is the result of the experiences acquired in the field of packaging machines. The Company derives in fact from CARTECO, erecting centre for corrugated board packaging operating since 1989. The first tray formers were designed and realized for the erecting centre itself; the successful results led to the foundation of TECO, dealing with the production and sales of automatic packaging machines. Very soon it earned a reputation in the field of cardboard and fresh produce and turned into a major Italian manufacturer of automatic formers for corrugated board. The easy utilisation and regulations of TECO tray formers allowed the company to expand to other fields, such as bakery, pastry, and dairy products, meat and even chemical industry. Its present production program includes tray formers for corrugated and solid board, american boxes, lidding machines and plastic crates erecting machines, as well as a wide range of accessories, such as stackers and conveyor belts. TECO mainly focuses on the serial production of solid and uncomplicated standard machines, but on request the company also provides customised solutions. As a matter of fact, TECO can rely on its own design team, and therefore owns in full its drawings, technology and know-how.

The lid can be loose or glued to the box depending on the customer’s own requirements. The machine can run a wide range of lid sizes and shapes which can fit the packaging needs of every market, from industry to small retail. As a matter of fact, the CK01 machine can fold standard lids for the protection of the products during transport as well as special irregular shapes, whose clever design allows to easily convert transit cases to cost effective on-shelf display boxes for the final point of purchase.
FT2K
Automatic tray former model Ft2k is the ideal link between our punnet machine and the standard tray former for cardboard trays. The mechanical system for the transport of the blank from the magazine to the forming area guarantees the accurate and constant positioning of the blank, which allows a very high precision in the folding and gluing process. The FT2k is very compact but features an open design and easy access for all standard maintenance operations and format change. High production speed, easy handling and reliability in time are guaranteed by the considerable expertise of TECO in the field of packaging. The FT2k is available in several configurations, for the folding and gluing of standard trays for fresh produce, conical trays or even more complicated constructions, which allows this versatile machine to apply for all different production needs.
