"Verbruggen is renowned for manufacturing first-class palletising and stacking solutions with excellent product support. We have successfully collaborated on a number of projects with Verbruggen in the past, so we are experienced in the capabilities of their machines and are delighted that we can now officially offer their range of palletisers to the UK agricultural."

Manufactured to ensure quick, efficient and uniform stacking of bags, boxes and crates on pallets or sheets, Verbruggen palletisers offer precise product stacking capabilities at any speed, resulting in a palletiser for every throughput.

With various automatic and semi-automatic options, a Verbruggen palletising system not only brings a significant reduction in labour costs and downtime, but also utilises loading space in the most efficient way. In addition to its comprehensive palletiser range, Verbruggen solutions also include wrapping machines, strapping machines and check weighers, all of which will be part of Tong’s offering as UK distributor.

"In synergy with our experience in handling all types of vegetables, this makes Verbruggen solutions the ideal end of line product to add to our range, which can be supplied as a stand-alone system, or fully integrated within a Tong turnkey handling line."
