Continental
The CONTINENTAL name has long been synonymous with excellence in can seaming and since 1995 it has been part of the Barry-Wehmiller family through a series of acquistions that brought us Continental's Closetech line of seamers. Today, we continue to provide sales, service, and support for these machines, as well as offering pre-owned and rebuilt models. This line includes 4 seamer families designed to address the needs of Food and Beverage producers with models designed to accommodate projects of differing speeds, can sizes, and even agitation. The four lines include the Rotary Closing Machine (RCM), the High-Speed Closing Machine (HCM), the Rotary Double Seamer (RDS), and the High-Speed Double Seamer (HDS). Although very different machines, they share some common attributes:
- Careful, expert engineering that designs efficiency and lower costs into machines
- Easy operation and maintenance
- Reduced downtimes and fast changeovers
CONTINENTAL can seamers are versatile and easily convertible, including aerosol versions and clinchers.
Synerlink history
Hema was first established in 1936 in Quimper, Brittany, France. The company developed the first rotary piston filler for sauces and jam in 1939 and evolved to produce rotary and linear fillers for liquid, viscous, and semi-solid products like oil, dairy, dressings, meat and fish. In 2008, Hema developed the first Combi machine for yogurt, showcasing their innovative approach to filling technology.
Arcil was founded in 1978, and was subsequently acquired by Danone, a world-leading food producer, in 1992. In 1994, Arcil introduced a new generation of Thermoform-Fill-Seal (FFS) machines. The company was later renamed Synerlink in 2009, when it began creating complete lines for dairy products. Barry-Wehmiller acquired Synerlink in 2013, further expanding its capabilities in the packaging industry.
In 2015, Barry-Wehmiller acquired Hema, and in 2016, it acquired Ermi and Sogameca, which became part of Synerlink, while Hema and Synerlink officially joined forces only in 2022, combining their expertise to provide comprehensive solutions for the food and beverage industry. This strategic collaboration has strengthened their position as leaders in packaging technology.
The Creation of BW Filling & Closing
Both companies were operating under the umbrella of Barry-Wehmiller as separate entities, until 2024 when Pneumatic Scale Angelus and Synerlink joined forces to become BW Filling & Closing. Since then, BW Filling & Closing has been working on enhancing customer services globally, and creating innovative, best-of-line equipment for our clients.
