Newmapak Ltd, our agent in Canada for 40 years By Zalkin Gazette
Newmapak is specialized in turnkey projects for packaging machinery, conveyor systems and related automation devices
Newmapak started in 1971 as a supplier of packaging machinery for
the carbonated beverage industry. Our first meeting with Michel Zalkin was at the Salon Emballage in the fall of 1970 to discuss the possibility of exclusive representation for Zalkin capping machines in Canada.
Some 1,500 cappers installed
over 40 years
2011 represents our 40th year of collaboration with Zalkin having resulted in over 1,500 installations. As Newmapak broadened its focus beyond carbonated beverages; many installations have been made in the spirits, wines and bottled water industries. Today, Newmapak offers Zalkin machinery to the food, pharmaceutical, chemicals, household and personal care industry. Our success has been built on providing quality packaging machinery with installation and after-sales service.
Newmapak Ltd has continued its growth and has added to its family of products. In 2005 we realized the need to offer more value and decided to create a design and manufacturing division of conveyors
and controls This investment has proven to be extremely beneficial
and Newmapak has quickly become a major player in the industry by offering it's customers the added value of a 'true' turn-key provider.
Newmapak has seen the growth with Zalkin from the original aluminum closure to the plastic conversions in the early 90's to today's evolution to lightweight plastic closures. Remembering in the early 90's Newmapak converted the entire beverage market (Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola) and others to plastic closures and with an order of some 25 machines and conversions for Coca Cola we traveled to the Zalkin factory to discuss all technical details. Our bubble was soon deflated when Michel thanked us for keeping his factory busy for approximately 2 weeks. All kidding aside, we have never been associated with a company that has been so respectful of its agents in the good and lean times.
The success of our partnership
with Zalkin has been based on the
quality of capping machinery built,
being able to help us when problems
occur and the efforts by the Zalkin
sales team to be able to answer any
question we may have quickly. Zalkin
has always been able to stand by
their product and ensure a customer's
complete satisfaction.
Promotional actions adapted to
new market trends
Markets change and so does the
way in doing business. We rely on
frequent mailings to potential customers
and soon will be hiring an
additional sales secretary to assume
the responsibilities of contacting
our current client base and
help our sales team.
Trade shows in Canada have been
overshadowed by the PMMI-USA
and various European exhibitions.
Newmapak recently exhibited without
any machinery, but relied on
PowerPoint, video's and photographs.
Our main intention was to
remain a major supplier and we
were well received. Changes in markets
rely on changing ways to promote
our machinery and we will continue
to make every effort to remain
one of Canada's major suppliers
of packaging machinery.
I wish to transmit my gratitude to
Michel Zalkin for giving us the opportunity
to share in our many successes
and fond memories.

Wepackit's Green Sealer By Canadian Packaging Staff
In a joint venture with Liquid Polymer, Wepackit Orangeville, has launched a new greener method of sealing, incorporating the revolutionary patented Liquamelt cold rapid set adhesive. The system is greener, on-demand, simple, safe and more reliable than existing sealing systems. Liquamelt is a Soya based green system which uses 75 per cent less energy.
Features: currently has greater than 40 per cent sustainable/renewable ingredients with a target of 100 per cent; expansion gases are 100 per cent bio-friendly and safe; low odor and non toxic; manufacturing requires low energy processing; excess adhesive does not adhere to metal resulting in easy clean up and maintenance.
Delivered at room temperature all the way to the point of application, the adhesive passes through the patented “Turbo Melter” where it is heated and transformed into hot foam - it eliminates the packaging inefficiencies associated with stringing and nozzle clogging and will not stick to metal.
Pictured above with the Wepackit 720 Series Small Footprint case erector, the Liquamelt system is also available with the Wepackit 310 Series of case erectors, case closers and tray formers.
Wepackit erecting, closing and tray forming systems are manufactured in Canada and distributed by Newmapak Ltd. For more information, please call 1-866-993-7225 or visit the Web-site at www.wepackit2009inc.com
