2017
is going to be an interesting year as the world gets to learn more about what’s
actually going to happen as a result of decisions made in
2016.
At
the Jenton Group it’s no secret that the Brexit decision has caused us some
issues in relation to currency losses and price increases but that’s the way it
is and like all SMEs, our job is to observe, think and react to make the most of
change.
All
the products we make – the Ariana Convergers, Seal testers, Stackers and Pad placers – The Dimaco Label Verification and vision systems – the JenAct UV disinfection systems and the JentonUV UV curing systems
and UV conveyors are all cheaper now (as long as you pay in something other than UK
pounds!) so we’ll be working on our exports. Potential OEMs and
Distributors, please call us asap!
In
the UK we’ll be developing our contribution to the sustainability agenda. With
so many products imported, supermarkets are conscious of trying to keep overall
prices down so cutting waste is more important than ever. Spotting weak seals
with our seal testers stops products being shipped that will go bad, UV
disinfection of air and surfaces reduces the risk of product going bad – and
increases shelf life and label verification prevents unnecessary rejection
because of information errors. Jenton developments in helping prevent poor
product from leaving the factory and helping prevent it from going off in the
first place contributed to us winning the PPMA Sustainable Company of the
year 2016 award.
So
roll on 2017 – we are ready and waiting.
