Smart Paper Sack Solutions

Global collaboration took centre stage at the 2025 European Paper Sack Summit, hosted by Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H). This exclusive event brought together paper sack producers, suppliers, and global machinery leaders to explore the future of smart paper sack solutions.

Representing Pope Packaging, CEO Craig Elkington and GM – Paper Sacks Matthew Sullivan joined international stakeholders for live demonstrations and knowledge-sharing.

“It’s not just about machinery, it’s about long-term transformation. These insights help shape smarter, cleaner, and faster paper sack production for our customers.”

Powering Advanced Sack Manufacturing

As agriculture, food, and construction industries expand, Pope Packaging remains focused on advanced sack manufacturing and long-term supply performance. The W&H summit showed how automation is improving consistency, quality, and speed across global sack production.

With upgraded converting lines, glue control systems, and real-time data, production can now scale faster – with less waste. These improvements match our goal to provide high-performance sack solutions across high-volume sectors.

Following the summit, Pope Packaging’s leadership visited Haver & Boecker, a global expert in sack-filling systems. This visit highlighted how sack and filler must perform together to deliver seamless results for end users.

“Innovation is a partnership. When we collaborate with global leaders, we bring back smarter, scalable results for our customers around the world.”
