Through the years, Schur has collaborated with Ishida on various automation solutions to joint customers, and the two brands have also co-presented at tradeshows. However, the two companies are now ready to bring their collaboration to the next level. Johan Schur, CEO of Schur and 6th generation of management says:
“In Schur, we pride ourselves of being Leader of the Pack as a total solution supplier within packaging and automation. Thus, we are extremely proud to announce this new partnership with Ishida. They produce industry leading products within weighing and quality control, which we have previously offered on our auto-mated packing lines and now look forward to offering to the market as official Ishida supplier. We are certain that the shared synergies and values between Schur and Ishida will create unrivalled possibilities for our customers.”
Dave Tiso, Managing Director from Ishida Europe, explains their high expectations to the new cooperation followingly:
“As we have previously co-created different projects with Schur, we know that our solutions and mindsets are a good match. Schur is well-established on the Danish market – and in Scandinavia - with their packaging and automation solutions, so they can be a great partner in gaining more market share and introducing new solutions to future Ishida/Schur customers."
Despite being rooted in two different cultures, the two companies share many of the same values and view on business conduct as both companies are family-owned through many generations. Johan Schur says:
“From our previous joint projects with Ishida, we know that they value decency, mutual respect, and quality just as highly as we do. Thus, we believe this will be a long-term partnership as both our product portfolio and mindset match our shared ambitions of being market leaders within our area of expertise."
The Ishida agency will be managed by Schur Automation a/s, with expertise within automated packing solutions, logistics, marking and QC equipment.
