Advantage - NEM

It was recently brought to our attention that with all of our products and innovation, our greatest competitive advantage is the versatility of our machines. Dating back to the origins of NEM, our ‘better method’ has always included the ability to handle a wide variety of container shapes and sizes. Our customers can’t always invest in separate machines to run numerous production lines. They need machines that can easily and quickly change over to different products and different containers and/or caps. We are often told that other machines have a limited range of the sizes, shapes and styles of containers they can handle.

The versatility of NEM machines is unsurpassed. Frequently, when faced with an unusual range of containers, or new shapes and sizes, we have a standard model that will work. Other times, we can make some minor design changes that makes it happen for the customer. This underscores another of NEM’s competitive advantages and our core competency, our full Engineering Dept.

NEM was founded by packaging engineers and continues to invest heavily in R&D to be a true leader in the packaging machinery industry. Our team reviews our customers’ needs and determines exactly what will be the right machine for their specific application. We don’t try to sell a ‘one machine fits all applications’ solution. Because, quite frankly, it doesn’t work and it’s not what’s best for the customer. And don’t let anyone tell you that our machines are too complicated because of their versatility. The beauty of our versatility is what keeps our customers coming back again and again for more machines. It’s not complicated, it’s easy and flexible and we would be more than happy to show you how easy it is to be versatile. We can’t promise to ‘do it all’, but we can promise to do more than our competition. Which is why so many companies have standardized on NEM machinery.
