Since its introduction in 2005, the Euroline has been a top seller and one of the main components behind FAS’s continued geographical growth. The Euroline started as an entry-level machine.
It has since grown to be one of the most popular machine in our product portfolio due to its combination of price, performance and simplicity. The Euroline now comes with internet connectivity and the possibility to add our full range of options which had only been offered to the standard B-series and SP-winders in the past. This makes the Euroline even more flexible and future proof investment.

Euroline continues to reach new destinations and widens our customer base with customers ranging from small, family owned business up to large multinational organisations. Many of our Euroline customers are specializing in recycled trash bags in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Eastern & Western Europe, both in-line with extruder or out of line from a master roll.

Today we offer following options;
Single/double sealing  |  Photocell  |  Twist-tie  |  PP-insert  |  2x adjustable c-folding  |  Coreless and Core winder  |  Tape unit
And more to come …

Since the start of 2006, we at Plamika have continuously developed our business with focus on quality products, punctuality and becoming a reliable partner for customers and other bag manufacturers who need to increase their capacity. Recently we have invested in 4 new production lines from FAS Converting to meet the increasing demand for high quality garbage bags made out of recycled material (PCR), Marius Maslauskas owner of Plamika.

FAS Converting has helped us throughout the whole process, ensuring that we invest in the right solution based on our situation today and our future potential. Now after running our new FAS Converting lines for the first year, we are already seeing results as we have a wider and more competitive product portfolio towards our main markets. We can now offer a bigger product range with T-shirt and S-cut/Wave-top bags, which has helped us to gain a larger market share in Western Europe including  Scandinavia. Today we supply bags not only to our customers, but also to other producers in the industry who need to increase their capacity temporarily and where quality is important.

The two companies environmental policies also share a common view on today’s critical situation and what needs to be done. Therefore, we have collaborated with FAS Converting at international exhibitions and sponsored them with our own recycled material so that we together can increase the awareness about efficient solutions to produce products with 100% recycled content.

First time I met Marius (owner) was at the K-show 2016 when I was new at FAS Converting. It has been a true pleasure to work with Plamika throughout the years and I have always appreciated their open and honest feedback during our discussions. They have treated us as a partner instead of a supplier, with open books about budgets, goals and expectations, which has given us the opportunity to actually do our job in the best possible way and guide them in the right direction. We enjoy our work and no customer is too small or too big for us. We are here to help and that is how we want to grow our business, Joakim says.

It’s been a tough and challenging year, but also a positive one for FAS Converting. We were able to reach a new record in turnover and we are thankful for the continued trust that we have received from our existing customers. We have also had the pleasure of welcoming new customers from markets like Africa, Eastern Europe, Baltics and North America, and are truly looking forward to getting out and meeting with all of them as soon as travel restrictions are eased.

As this year has been different and unpredictable in many ways, we at FAS Converting would also like to thank our customers for all the patience and understanding during the challenges we sometimes experienced while managing this year’s growth during the ongoing pandemic. The positive thing is that we have developed in many areas and also been forced to find new methods to communicate and support our customers from distance. This is something we will continue to develop and which we believe will improve the customer experience when working with FAS Converting in the future.

With long history in T-shirt and S-cut bag making, the rotary cutter CT500 is now also available with apron capability. The demand for local production of aprons continues to increase and we are glad to introduce this new update on our CT500 to help our customers to meet this demand.
(See Video at Youtube)

The line consists of a FAS Unwind, SF2V-folder, CT500 cutter and a standard SP500 winder. It can be used both in-line with an extruder or run up to 120m/min from our unwind. This line can also easily be upgraded with a bag machine (perforation & sealing) for production of T-shirt & S-cut trash bags.

With a pandemic spreading and more and more borders closing all over the world, FAS Converting faces new exciting challenges in order to support our customers in the best possible way. FAS Converting has now had several successful startups done remotely, the last one done was for our customer in South Africa.

Our Service Engineers, Morten Severinsen and Rolf Gustavsson are doing the startups remotely using communication programs, phones and remote connections to the machines PLC and HMI.

• “It is challenging but has worked out well with good results”, said Morten Severinsen after the first startup.
• Rolf Gustavsson informs us further of the new preparatory material developed to facilitate the remote startup process in terms of both technical and assembly instructions.

As our customers are satisfied and happy with the results, we at FAS Converting are very happy as well.

It is important to be able to adapt to different situations, and though nothing compares to being together with our customers physically, we now have a complementary routine that will result in a more efficient technical support going forward.

Last but not least we are extremely happy and proud to be able to say that our business continues to grow at a quicker pace than ever before. Our orderbook is at a high level and we would like to say THANK YOU for your confidence!

FAS Converting participated in the K2019 in Düsseldorf, Germany with a greater booth then the years before and a live demonstration of two machine lines.

The K show brings together more than 225,000 visitors from 165 countries to tour 3,300 exhibitors from 67 countries.

K 2019 comes at an exciting time for the plastics industry, which has come under heavy criticism as it does have a huge waste problem.

“Never before has the industry put the sustainability and recycling at such a high a priority and also to train the public how to use the plastics more responsibly,” in President and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, said at the opening news conference on Oct. 15.

One clearly gets the feeling that the industry has taken an important step to find solutions to this and is embarking on the journey to a circular economy.  It is a positive sign that the plastics industry isn’t fighting this trend. Companies are exploring ways to be part of this transition.

FAS Converting is also part of this. “We are growing our company across all departments to become more responsive to your needs and challenges. We are investing in talented people, adopting standardized procedures in our production. We strive to build our machines to become more efficient, to use less energy per produced product with less waste and a smaller physical as well as Carbon footprint”,
says Stefan Berg, CEO at FAS Converting.

– Many new contacts were taken at K2019 and we are now working with many requests. – Three concept lines were sold and there is more to come, says Joakim Sjödin, Sales Manager at FAS Converting.

As a long-term “K”-exhibitor of bag on roll machinery, we noticed a major change in the interest this time compared to previous shows. New companies from all over the world showed big interest and were curios in our solutions for production of garbage bags on roll. Everything from small family owned companies up to large corporations with millions in turnover. Some of them are recyclers looking to increase their profits by entering the bag making business with their material. Current producers of single use carrier bags see their market decreasing as these bags are now becoming prohibited, they are now in a transition phase of changing their production into trash bags made of recycled material.

As a manufacturer with long experience and state-of-the-art technology for recycled material, we are glad to support the market and contribute with know-how and solutions that will help the market to step in to the circular economy. And of course it’s not a secret that this is a big business opportunity for us as company since this has always been our main focus and core strength, Joakim continuous.

We will be conducting business as FAS Converting Machinery. The name, logo and message will be consistent across all markets we serve. The name Peco Inc. will no longer be used.

The history

For 40 years, FAS Converting Machinery has enjoyed a rich history of growth, commercial success and technical achievement.

As one of the early pioneers of in line bag making, FAS invented and refined bag machines, winders and other Film Converting equipment targeted towards the production of trash bags on roll applications.

As line speeds increased, raw materials changed, and bag features were added, FAS kept pace with the development of new bag machines, draw tape equipment, coreless winders, industrial winders, rotary cutters and folders. The company grew and prospered outgrowing its facilities and moving several times.

During the 1980’s, Peco Inc was founded in New Jersey USA and become a strategic partner with FAS, serving the North American market. Peco built equipment in the USA under license to FAS.

In 1999 FAS acquired Peco and made it a wholly owned subsidiary. Since that time the two companies have become closely integrated. Production was consolidated in Sweden while parts, technical service and sales support remained in the USA under the Peco Inc name.

Over the years our company and equipment have been identified by a range of names and images including FAS, Peco, Peco FAS, FAS Peco, at times confusing our customers and suppliers.

The future

FAS stands poised for the future. Our challenge is straightforward. We want to be your number one choice for Film Converting solutions. We are growing our company across all departments to become more responsive to your needs and challenges. Strategically we are looking to partner with companies in the recycling business in order to offer highly productive film converting systems, as we take an active role in providing long term sustainable solutions contributing to a cleaner healthier environment.

We are investing in talented people, adopting standardized procedures in our production and increasing our interactions with you our customers to be able to better serve you going forward.

To be consistent with that commitment, we are rebranding our company. We will conduct business globally as FAS Converting Machinery. The quality of our products and service that you have come to expect will not change. Whether you are used to referring to us as Peco, FAS or something else, we will be known as FAS Converting Machinery in all markets now.
