Finland-based packaging provider Huhtamaki Oyj provides some of the world's most recognizable consumer goods packaging and foodservice containers. The company's U.S. division, Huhtamaki-America, is headquartered in De Soto, KS, and operates 18 facilities in North and South America. In late 2007, an equipment purchase by Huhtamaki-America's corporate engineering group for one of the division's largest plants, in Fulton, NY, sent the manufacturing facility scrambling for solutions to automate the packaging of its sleeved foodservice cups and lids in record time.rnThe purchase consisted of two new PMC 1002 cup-forming machines from Paper Machinery Corp. With a top-rated speed of 330 cups/min, the model was selected to more than double the Fulton plant's foodservice cup-production rate.
