At PPMA 2026, BW Packaging will showcase decades of innovation from brands such as Harland (Accraply), Hayssen (Rose Forgrove), Angelus and Sleevit (Grahams) now come together within a single integrated packaging partner.
Visitors to the BW Packaging (Stand C64) will find familiar names and expertise, while discovering how those brands now connect through a broader portfolio of packaging technologies. Today, BW Packaging helps manufacturers address some of the industry’s most pressing challenges—from workforce constraints and aftermarket support to increasing throughput, improving flexibility and driving long-term operational performance.
BW Packaging enables manufacturers to respond faster to change with innovative engineering solutions. Whether introducing new packaging formats, handling emerging materials, or optimizing production. By simplifying operation, reducing changeovers, and integrating technologies across the packaging line, BW Packaging helps customers improve efficiency, accelerate growth, and gain a competitive advantage.
At PPMA, the focus will be on showing how manufacturers can simplify projects by working with a single packaging partner. From labeling and conveying through to palletizing and line integration, BW Packaging helps connect equipment into cohesive, high-performing operations.
“Many people in the UK packaging industry already know Harland and our other equipment brands, and that isn’t changing,” said Rob Toolen, Director of Sales – UK. “What has changed is the breadth of technology and support available behind the brand. Customers who come to us for standalone labelling, flow wrapping and bagging expertise can now access a much wider range of packaging solutions from a single organisation.”
The stand will highlight BW Packaging’s capabilities for demanding manufacturing environments where reliability, ease of use, and operational efficiency are critical. Visitors will also learn how BW Packaging’s broader portfolio can help create more connected, scalable packaging operations through integrated line design and automation.
“PPMA is an opportunity to show that Harland is very much still here—now as part of BW Packaging,” Toolen added. “Our goal is to help customers think beyond individual machines and explore what’s possible when an entire packaging line works together as a fully integrated system, backed by long-term service and aftermarket support.”
