How Pattyn’s strong customer service convinced Prize
“We had been looking for a reliable alternative for a long time — a machine that wouldn’t break down and could really help us solve our challenges,” explains Carlos Espinoza, Assistant Manager of Industrial Production at Prize.
“The Pattyn machine worked perfectly from the start. But what really stood out to me was the excellent customer service. That was clear from the very first contact — a big difference compared to what’s available on the market.”
Why Pattyn’s bag sealing machine optimizes production efficiency
“We had many technical questions, and they were answered very quickly and correctly. Thanks to this machine, we can get the most out of our production lines during such a short season.”
For Prize, choosing Pattyn was about more than just a machine. It was about finding a partner they could trust with their valuable superfruits - especially cherries.
“The biggest advantage of automatic bag sealing is that the physical manipulation of the raw materials is limited to sealing the bag,” Carlos adds.
“The sealing quality is very high — the machine really does its magic.”
Prize values Pattyn’s combination of technical reliability, fast support, and deep expertise in automated packaging - a partnership that brings confidence during the most critical moments of the season.
