Remcon specializes in products for the material handling and safety products market segments. The company's products include polyethylene FDA/USDA compliant containers for storage, in-process handling and shipping of food products. Remcon will be showcasing some of its newest products at Pack Expo in Las Vegas, September 26-28.

The company focuses on reducing customer costs with "uniquely engineered material handling solutions" for any bulk processing industry requirements, but predominantly serves the pharmaceutical, meat and poultry, confection, grain, and metal stamping markets, among others.

Brian Martin, director of sales and marketing for Remcon, said the company's "new streamlined approach to customer processes" has resulted in several custom tailored, money-saving designs for their customers. The company has also implemented lean manufacturing, creating a new position for a Continuous Improvement Team leader and hiring an individual with a degree in Supply Chain and Information Systems that's also trained as a Six Sigma Master Black Belt and Lean Sensei.

Equipment at Remcon includes a Ferry RS 400, one of the largest rotational molding machines on the East coast, with 160-inch swing capability and each arm rated for 5000/lb of capacity, including the weight of the mold and the material.
