After the successful participation at the CBB and the open house of the new production plant, Aetna Group is back in the spotlight at CBST 2025, China International Beverage Exhibition on Science and Technology. This will take place from 5 to 7 March at the SNIEC - Shanghai New International Expo Center.
Now in its 13th edition, the event confirms itself as a reference point for the beverage industry in China and Asia. It represents an important showcase for high-speed end-of-line technologies, particularly for the automatic solutions of the OCME, Robopac Systems and Robopac Packers & Palletizers Group.
Aetna Group will be present in Hall N1 - Booth 1F03 with Robot S7. This Group's technological icon is a symbol of efficiency and flexibility for the end of the line. This self-propelled solution (featuring advanced technology and maximum attention to safety systems) is designed to wrap and stabilise palletised loads of any shape, size and weight, with stretch film.
The Aetna Group's participation in CBST 2025 is of strategic importance, as it consolidates the Group's presence in the Chinese market through two important local subsidiaries: Robopac China and OCME Jiaxing. The latter is at the centre of a major development plan. The result of this has been the opening of the Group's second production plant which was recently inaugurated to boost production capacity and respond to growing demand from the Asian market.
Further strengthening Aetna Group's commitment to research and innovation is the new Tech Lab centre of excellence, which will be ready by mid-2025. The futuristic design of the new plant will therefore allow customers to conduct specific tests on packaging to find the optimal solution, so that the packaging reaches its destination in perfect condition and with the least amount of material consumption.
With a growing presence in China and Asia, Aetna Group stands out not only for its technological innovation, but also for the ability to offer local solutions with direct and specialised support. Through participation in CBST 2025, the Group will have the opportunity to demonstrate how its technologies (ranging from advanced robotics to automated packaging solutions) can meet the productivity, safety, and sustainability needs of the beverage industry.
