TAB Wrapper Wrapping machinery manufacturer reports record-breaking year
Another year, another record for the patented TAB Wrapper Tornado. Packaging machinery manufacturer TAB Industries, LLC has broken its record for annual revenue for its TAB Wrapper Tornado orbital wrapping systems. Topping $4 million in 2023 for the first time, the annual sales record was broken in large part due to a 180% increase in sales of the TAB Wrapper Tornado Smart Controls orbital wrappers. These wrapping machines enable a single operator to stretch wrap pallet loads automatically by remote control from a forklift seat in 30 seconds or less.
In addition, the company introduced a wave of advances during 2023 that garnered substantial interest among new and repeat customers. Its new plastic film cutting system automatically cuts the end of the stretch wrap after wrapping and eliminates the use of blades; its new wrapping ring design both reduces vibrations and speeds lead times; its new laser cut machine guarding sports a powder-coated, anti-scuff finish; and its new preventative maintenance kits help operators keep their wrappers running in peak condition.
When forecasting this record sales increase in 2022, the company embarked on a facility expansion that brought 14,000 additional square feet online in its Reading, Pa. headquarters during 2023. This helped increase manufacturing throughput by 20% and cut lead times to as short as four weeks. The company also formally secured two patents for the TAB Wrapper Tornado orbital wrapping technology during 2023 which drew significant attention for improving pallet wrapping speed and efficiency.
