Special Purpose Machines

We operate globally in a variety of manufacturing sectors including food, drink and confectionery, medical devices and pharmaceuticals packaging, personal care, luxury packaging and other consumer goods. With confidentiality as a core value, ITCM generates new IP for the sole benefit of our customers, providing long-term competitive advantage and differentiation in their markets. We are the company responsible for the design and development of the machines to make the famous pyramid® tea bags, which established a powerful brand identity and market-leading position for PG Tips.

Our core skills include the handling and filling of powders, infusions, liquids, solids and gels. We are also experts in the handling and conversion of reel-fed and board-based materials including delicate filter papers, films, carton-board and laminates. Assembly automation and the use of robotics to support manufacture is another key skill area. Our equipment is designed to support lean manufacturing by reducing inventory and cycle times, typically facilitating late-stage customisation and rapid changeovers on the line.

Our well-proven, risk-managed process delivers ‘fast-track’ projects, providing you with the machinery for full-scale production faster than your competitors. We prefer to partner with our customers early in the new product development process, ensuring a rapid time to market for new ideas and valuable ‘design for manufacture’ input from the start of a project.
