7-20 April, Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center
In line with this year ́s Chinaplas focus on ‘A Brighter and Shared Future, Powered by Innovation’, Kiefel is demonstrating the new Speedformer KMD 90 Smart steel rule cutting machine — engineered in Germany and made in China. The model is equipped with state-of-the-art features and options, processing various materials for the packaging industry. Furthermore, new solutions for the appliance industry — also engineered in Germany and made in China — will be shown at stand 10Q21 in Hall 10, 17-20 April 2023 at Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center, Shenzhen, China.

In a live demonstration, visitors can experience the performance capabilities of the brand-new Speedformer KMD 90 Smart. It is the world premiere of this new Kiefel machine and is available for sale in China and many other countries. It is engineered for the efficient production of food and non-food plastic packaging, e.g. trays and containers, made from PET, PP, PLA, PS, PE or recycled plastics. The machine is 100% made by Kiefel and combines proven German technology with Chinese local manufacturing benefits, made in the Brueckner Group top-notch factory in Suzhou, China. Of course, Kiefel ́s worldwide engineering standards and quality processes are applied in the Speedformer KMD 90 Smart, guaranteeing a high level of satisfaction for the customers. It complements the smaller KMD 78 Smart which was shown at Chinaplas 2021.
The high degree of automation and the sophisticated, time-saving tool change system is as much part of the mature concept as the steel rule cutting and the integrated stacking station. Additionally, the highly productive machine comes with a forming area of 870 x 920 mm, a tool dimension area of 890 x 940 mm, and can produce formed parts with a height of up to 160 mm. The machine is efficient and sustainable, e.g. through the film temperature measurement with closed-loop control or drives with an energy recovery system.
Kiefel is also underlining its presence in China with its new machine solutions for the appliance industry. From now on Kiefel is building Speedformer KID 1.250 Smart machines in China: This Inline Thermoforming Machine for the flexible production of HIPS and ABS refrigerator inner-liners and door liners utilizes vacuum-pressure forming technology for more demanding shapes and higher production speeds. The KID 1.250 Smart can produce side-by-side products with one mold.
Following Kiefel’s strategy dedicated to the Chinese market, the KID 1.250 Smart is also engineered in Germany and assembled in China, Suzhou. As the offer is already very well received by Chinese customers, further machine types for the refrigerator industry will be successively offered according to the same concept, engineered in Germany and assembled in China. Chinese and Asian customers in particular therefore benefit from shorter delivery times, even faster spare parts availability, as well as competent and swift local support from the Kiefel team in China.
Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive
The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.
As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.
We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.
The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
