Sarong was established in 1972 with the aim to introduce the first fully automatic Vertical Thermoform, Fill & Seal machine, model SG-12 for the production of 22.000 suppositories per hour in plastic containers.
The Pharma Business Unit still represents one of the core-businesses of the Company, with almost 70% of the worldwide installed capacity for suppository machinery and up to 85% for suppository packaging films, thus confirming Sarong’s recognized leadership in the suppository packaging market, thanks also to its R&D expertise and its high quality After Sales services (technical assistance, spare parts and change parts).
Over the years Sarong has extended the range of its FFS packaging lines by adding models for small, medium and large production, from 6.000 up to 30.000 suppositories per hour, packed with plastic films (ThermoForming process) or aluminum foils (Cold Forming process).
In 1984 Sarong started to extend its range of FFS machinery by supplying the first Vertical Thermoform, Fill & Seal machine for unit-doses of pharmaceutical liquid or semi-liquid products.
