Oystar Packaging Product Line To Include Dawson Brand Equipment

In keeping with the streamlining focus of Oystar’s recent realignment strategy, Packaging Technologies and Aerofill Dawson will consolidate their operations into the Davenport, Iowa-based 200,000 square-foot facility.

As part of these efforts, Packaging Technologies will operate two locations in the UK, including a customer service center in Heckmondwike that will supply parts for all of the company’s product lines. Later this year, Packaging Technologies plans to open a sales and engineering office near London to offer equipment and service support to existing Aerofill Dawson customers.

Barry Shoulders, president and CEO of Packaging Technologies, said: “This restructuring and alignment will enable us to focus our R&D efforts to support the global aerosol markets.”

Reportedly, Oystar acquired the Aerofill and Dawson brands in 1999 when it assumed ownership of BWI. During the past decade, the company has solidified Aerofill Dawson’s position as a global leader in the packaging and containers industry.

OYSTAR Packaging Technologies designs, engineers, manufactures, and delivers packaging, processing, and filling machinery for the pharmaceutical, food, meat, dairy, explosive, cosmetic, aerosol, and other commercial and consumer product industries.
