It won "New Star Enterprise" in Shanghai's Songjiang District in 2024.Project Recognition and Procurement Due Diligence Serve Different Purposes Recognition as a high-tech transformation project provides context for the development described above, but does not replace evaluation against a buyer’s load, film, site, and acceptance requirements. The recognition and commercial technical review are separate evidence streams: one concerns the identified project; the other establishes whether the offered configuration suits a defined operation. Request a configuration statement, test plan, responsibility matrix, and assumptions before judging technical fit. Define the Cold Stretch Application Start with the load: record minimum and maximum dimensions, weight, stability, pallet condition, and edge or protrusion risks. Film discussions should identify the proposed material, width, thickness, stretch behavior, and who approves alternatives. The required packaging result should be described in observable terms, including coverage, containment, film integrity, and top or bottom treatment. Samples should represent difficult as well as routine cases. Test Throughput and Stability Under Agreed Conditions Cycle-time review should define timing boundaries and how stops, recovery, film changes, and product variation affect sustained operation. A planned trial can record completed loads, interruptions, alarms, adjustments, and packaging observations. Stability should be demonstrated through repeatable results, not inferred from a single successful cycle. Any performance statement retained from the project description should be checked against the exact test method and offered configuration. Set Acceptance and Document Deliverables Before order release, agree factory and site acceptance criteria, sample responsibility, measuring methods, utilities, interfaces, safety review, and handling of deviations. Documentation may include approved drawings, component and spare-parts lists, operating and maintenance instructions, software or parameter backups where applicable, inspection records, and final test reports. Assign owners and revision status to every deliverable.

April 8-10, 2025 – KUKO participated in WARSAW PACK 2025, a leading packaging industry event certified by UFI, held at PTAK Warsaw Expo Center. The exhibition, covering over 14,000 sqm, gathered around 250 exhibitors and 10,800 professionals, serving as a key platform for industry exchange in Central Europe. KUKO showcased its latest film wrapping and shrink packaging machinery, featuring high efficiency, user-friendliness, stability and energy-saving performance. Highlights included a bag-making machine with fast mold change and precise size control, and a filling and sealing machine with high automation for diverse containers. The company also displayed innovative packaging products like cartons, glass and plastic containers, which combine product protection with enhanced brand image. KUKO’s booth attracted numerous visitors from various countries. Its professional team provided detailed product introductions, sparking strong interest and cooperation intentions. This participation not only demonstrated KUKO’s innovative strength but also boosted its international brand influence. By engaging with global industry peers, KUKO will continue to optimize its products and services, delivering high-quality packaging solutions to customers.From Exhibition Observation to a European Project Checklist A booth visit supports initial comparison. To make that time useful, bring representative product and packaging information, expected pack formats, desired line flow, and site constraints. During a demonstration, note the material used, product condition, operating sequence, operator actions, visible pack result, alarm handling, and access for adjustment or cleaning. Ask what would change for the buyer’s actual dimensions, containers, film, cartons, or production pattern instead of assuming the displayed setup transfers directly. Confirm the Site and Integration Basis For a European installation, the next discussion should be project specific. Confirm the destination, plant voltage and frequency, utilities, available footprint, conveyor levels, product direction, guarding interfaces, upstream and downstream signals, and plant rules that the supplier must receive. Identify applicable site requirements and assign who provides evidence for each. Any required declaration or assessment should refer to the final supplied configuration, not simply to equipment seen at the show. Close the Gaps in Writing Follow-up records can cover sample trials, agreed output definitions, format-change procedure, acceptance tests, manuals, drawings, spare and wear parts, software backups, training, installation, and service contacts. Assign responsibility for shipment preparation, site readiness, commissioning support, and correction of test issues. If technical claims were discussed verbally, request written confirmation with conditions and exclusions. Do not infer orders, customer reactions, or final suitability from exhibition presence. A checklist turns an initial conversation into a traceable review of whether the proposed solution, evidence, and support match the specific European packaging project.

July 7, 2025 – KUKO and SIEMENS officially entered into a strategic partnership to conduct in-depth cooperation in the intelligent packaging machinery field, jointly driving technological innovation and industrial upgrading in the industry. At the signing ceremony, members of KUKO's mechanical intelligence team and representatives from SIEMENS gathered together to witness this important moment. The two teams took a group photo in front of the cooperation banner, marking the official launch of the partnership. According to the strategic cooperation agreement, KUKO will leverage SIEMENS' advanced technologies and rich experience in industrial automation, digital solutions and intelligent manufacturing to further enhance the intelligence level of its packaging machinery products. SIEMENS will provide a variety of technical support including automation control systems and digital factory solutions to help KUKO optimize production processes and improve efficiency. SIEMENS stated that this cooperation is an important step in promoting its intelligent manufacturing strategy in the Chinese market. Through cooperation with KUKO, SIEMENS will further expand its application scenarios in the packaging machinery industry and help more enterprises achieve digital transformation.Evaluating the Automation Solution Behind the Partnership The partnership described above provides a basis for discussing automation control and digital solutions, but each packaging project still needs a defined technical architecture. Buyers can request a control overview showing the main controllers, operator interface, drives, sensors, networks, and data connections included in the offered configuration. It should identify which interfaces connect to upstream equipment, downstream equipment, plant supervision, or other systems. Signal lists, communication methods, data ownership, and boundaries of supply should be reviewed. Safety, Versions, and Lifecycle Questions Control evaluation should also cover the safety concept, including protective devices, emergency functions, reset behavior, operating modes, and responsibility for validating the integrated line. Buyers may ask how hardware and software versions are recorded, how backups are created and restored, who can modify parameters, and how changes will be approved. A component list can support discussion of local availability, critical spares, substitution rules, obsolescence handling, and the effect of a replacement on software or drawings. Make Commissioning Responsibility Explicit Before commissioning, define who provides power, network access, products, packaging material, interface counterparts, test personnel, and safe site conditions. The parties should agree who loads software, checks signals, tunes motion, runs acceptance tests, records deviations, and authorizes final versions. Training, manuals, source and backup files where contractually applicable, remote-support arrangements, and post-startup issue handling should be listed rather than assumed. This project-level review does not expand the stated partnership; it helps a buyer determine how the described automation capabilities will be translated into a maintainable, testable, and clearly documented packaging solution.

Wuxi, Jiangsu, Nov 4, 2025 – KUKO, a key player in the film wrapping and shrink machinery sector, actively participated in the 8th Member Congress of China Food and Packaging Machinery Industry Association, a major industry gathering held in Wuxi on Nov 4, 2025. The event brought together national enterprise representatives, experts and scholars to map out industry development. KUKO, recognized for innovative R&D, quality products and services, gained advanced industry concepts and technological insights from the congress, enriching its experience for sustained innovation. The congress provided an efficient industry collaboration platform. KUKO will continue to uphold the philosophy of innovation, quality and service, joining hands with peers to advance China's food and packaging machinery industry and contribute to its prosperity.Using Industry Dialogue to Prepare a Food Packaging Project Industry dialogue can inform a project brief, but buyers still need application-specific questions. Start with the product and process: describe whether the item is exposed or already enclosed, its temperature and moisture condition, the required pack pattern, and the way it arrives at the packaging station. These details give both parties a common basis for discussing equipment rather than relying on general industry language. Hygiene, Materials, and Operating Questions Buyers should ask which machine areas may contact the product or primary package and how those areas can be accessed, inspected, and cleaned. The cleaning method, permitted agents, drainage or residue concerns, and changeover procedure should be documented. Packaging material questions can address supplier, grade, thickness range, storage, print or registration needs, sealing or shrinking behavior, and the method used to approve an alternative material. Where hygiene or material requirements come from the buyer, applicable specifications should be exchanged before configuration is fixed. Speed, Traceability, and Evidence A headline speed is not enough for project planning. Ask how output is defined, which product and material support the figure, what happens during gaps or irregular feeding, and how stops, rejects, and restarts are counted. For traceability, discuss what batch, recipe, alarm, operator, or production information the project requires; where it originates; how it is transferred; and how long records must remain available. Interface ownership between packaging equipment and plant systems should be assigned rather than assumed. After the meeting, convert the discussion into an action log covering samples, drawings, utilities, risk reviews, test protocols, documentation, and acceptance responsibilities. Each open point should have an owner and a confirmation route. In this way, congress participation supports better questions and clearer communication without replacing product trials, engineering review, or contractual verification for a particular food packaging line.

Shanghai, Nov 25, 2025 – KUKO presented its latest intelligent packaging equipment at SWOP 2025 held at Shanghai New International Expo Center (Booth N3E19) from Nov 25 to 27. As a leader in film wrapping and shrink packaging machinery, KUKO showcased high-speed, energy-efficient packaging solutions suitable for food, daily chemicals and pharmaceuticals, demonstrating its strengths in automated, green packaging. As a benchmark packaging exhibition in Asia, SWOP gathers global industry innovations. KUKO’s team offered on-site demos and interactive experiences at the booth, aiming to connect with domestic and international partners, explore industry trends and enhance its global footprint. "SWOP 2025 is key to KUKO’s global expansion," said Mr. Bi, head of KUKO. "We’re eager to showcase our innovative manufacturing capabilities, learn from global peers and create greater value for customers. We sincerely invite all industry participants to visit Booth N3E19 and witness KUKO’s technological innovations driving the industry forward!"Turning a Trade-Show Demonstration into a Useful Evaluation An exhibition run starts technical discussion, but should be observed against a defined sample and operating scenario. Visitors can record the product dimensions, film type and thickness, pack pattern, output, and the quality standard. Beyond a short stable sequence, ask how startup, stopping, film replacement, product gaps, and routine adjustments are handled. If different products are relevant, discuss which parts, settings, guides, or tools change and how changeover time would be measured during a later trial. Questions for Line Fit and Daily Operation For an automated packaging project, the machine cannot be evaluated in isolation. Buyers should map upstream product delivery and downstream discharge, including conveyor height, product orientation, accumulation logic, line speed signals, emergency-stop links, guarding boundaries, utilities, and available floor space. Ask which interface information can be supplied for engineering review and which assumptions still depend on the buyer’s site. Maintenance discussions should cover access for cleaning and inspection, wear-part identification, lubrication points, alarms, troubleshooting guidance, operator skill expectations, and the recommended spare-parts basis for the intended duty. Confirm After the Show Notes from the booth should become a written technical question list rather than an immediate performance conclusion. Request confirmation of the proposed configuration, sample responsibility, test method, acceptance criteria, interface ownership, documentation, training, installation support, and open technical risks. Any speed discussed should be tied to the actual product, film, pack format, and test conditions. A follow-up trial can then compare results consistently and document deviations. This disciplined sequence helps separate what was visible during the demonstration from what must still be engineered, tested, and agreed for the production line.

Recently, KUKO has successfully renewed its certification as a Shanghai High-Tech Enterprise, marking official recognition of the company's technological innovation and R&D capabilities once again.

At the same time, KUKO will actively fulfill its social responsibilities and contribute to building a harmonious society and sustainable development.How Buyers Should Read a Certification Renewal A renewed enterprise certification can provide useful context about the company’s stated emphasis on technological innovation and research and development. Its meaning, however, should remain within the scope of the certificate and the review behind it. Procurement teams should verify the issuing authority, the named legal entity, the validity period, and whether the document presented is current and complete. The entity on quotations, contracts, invoices, and technical submissions should also be compared with the entity shown on the certificate, with any difference clarified in writing. Keep Company Recognition Separate from Machine Compliance An enterprise-level certificate should not be treated as automatic proof that a particular machine satisfies every destination-market, safety, electrical, hygiene, or project requirement. Buyers can create a separate document list for the proposed equipment: applicable declarations, test records, manuals, drawings, component information, and agreed acceptance criteria. Each item should identify its source, revision, and relationship to the offered configuration. This approach respects the renewal as company-level recognition while keeping product compliance and contractual acceptance subject to project-specific evidence.

On November 24, 2023, the Songjiang News published an extensive report on the "Most Beautiful Production Line" of Shanghai Guhao Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. This report reaffirms Guhao Packaging Machinery's leading position in the packaging machinery industry and its exceptional craftsmanship. As a leading enterprise specializing in packaging machinery manufacturing, Guhao Packaging Machinery has long been committed to building efficient, intelligent, and environmentally friendly production lines, providing customers with high-quality products and services. With years of technical accumulation and experience, the company has continuously innovated and broken through, successfully creating a series of automated, intelligent, and highly efficient production lines. The report on the "Most Beautiful Production Line" is not only recognition and encouragement for Shanghai Guhao Packaging Machinery's production line design and transformation, but also an affirmation of the company's consistent adherence to the spirit of innovation and social responsibility.What Production-Line Recognition Should Help Buyers Examine Recognition can draw attention to a manufacturing line, but procurement teams still need to understand how work is controlled from incoming materials to final release. A useful review makes the process visible: where components are received, identified, stored, assembled, inspected, corrected, and approved. Buyers can ask which checkpoints are recorded, who has authority to stop work, how nonconforming items are separated, and how changes to drawings or instructions reach operators. These questions turn a general impression of craftsmanship into evidence that can be discussed against the requirements of a specific packaging project. Factory or Video Review Points During an on-site visit, follow one representative order through the available workflow rather than viewing only a finished machine. Look for clear material identification, current work instructions, inspection status, protected electrical and mechanical parts, and a traceable route for issues found during assembly. Ask to see how measuring tools are managed, how inspection records are linked to the relevant build, and how corrective actions are closed. The goal is not to impose one factory format, but to confirm that the controls shown are repeatable and understandable. If travel is impractical, request a live video review with a simple agenda. The camera can move from receiving and storage to assembly, testing, and release while the supplier explains each handoff. Buyers may prepare questions about order identification, software or document revision, operator training, test preparation, and final record retention. They should also distinguish a staged demonstration from routine practice by asking for real-time views and consistent document references. Before approval, record open points, responsible parties, requested evidence, and due dates so that recognition remains context, while project-specific verification supports the purchasing decision.
