Wrapping Machines

Haloila’s semi-automatic and fully automatic wrapping machines are used for wrapping different kinds of pallet loads for example, in the food and construction industries and in logistics centres.

The most widely known product in Haloila’s product range is the fully automatic wrapping machine, Octopus, with approximately 3,500 fully automatic stretch wrapping machines manufactured so far. In 2008, the international media also spotlighted the manufacture of the 3000th Octopus machine.

The Octopus machines have been in production since 1983; when the model was launched it was the first pallet-wrapping machine with a rotating ring system. Octopus is still the market leader at the international level and one of the most widely known brands in the wrapping industry.

With the often challenging demands of the American markets, the Octopus is also engineered and manufactured specifically for the North, Central, and South American markets by Haloila's sister company, ITW Muller, located in Quebec, Canada. With well over 25 years of engineering and manufacturing expertise, ITW Muller has proven to be the perfect sibling partnership to Haloila.

Other Haloila’s wrapping machines include the Cobra, Ecomat and Rolle.

History

Haloila was founded by Matti Haloila in 1972, acting at first as a medal subcontractor for other companies. The first wrapping machines were produced in 1976. Matti Haloila sold the company to a French ownership in 1989 and ITW purchased Haloila in 1995.
