Representing Heaford in Chile since 2016, Packaging Xpert, founded in 2013 by Herman Zepeda and Fernando Alvarez, specialize in providing consultancy services to the packaging industry, with a primary focus on enhancing the production efficiency of flexible packaging converters.

Since 2016, Packaging Xpert has been proudly representing Heaford, and has also expanded its portfolio to include renowned brands such as UTECO, OMET, BANDERA, BIMEC, SIMEC, DURST, POLYWEST, CORONA SUPPLIES, and HEAFORD, all dedicated to serving the packaging industry.

The Packaging Xpert team now includes Alejandro Noria as the Commercial Manager and Juan Arenas as the Service Manager, both of whom bring extensive experience in flexographic printing, rotogravure, and digital printing to the table.

Packaging Xpert comments, “Heaford is a market leader, delivering superior quality and exceptional support both commercially and technically. The equipment’s quality is excellent; we have operational machines that are more than 20 years old which have only required upgrades in terms of new technologies like the vision system, without major repairs being necessary.
One of the standout aspects of Heaford is their outstanding administrative support, with a knowledgeable and responsive sales manager, as well as the superior technical support they provide. Set-ups and commissioning always proceed smoothly, leaving our customers with an excellent opinion of the brand and its quality.”

Nick Vindel added:
“Although I knew Herman and Fernando from previous visits to Chile and because they are well known in industry, Heaford officially decided to forge a collaboration with Packaging Xpert as their Chilean representative during Drupa 2016. They were already familiar with Heaford’s mounting machines and proofing equipment, and well as having advanced technical knowledge, a great team, and excellent contacts. Since then, Packaging Xpert and Heaford have been working together successfully, having sold both gravure proof press and a variety of models of plate mounters, thus cementing Heaford’s position as market leader in Chile. We have an excellent working relationship which will continue for many years.”

Thank you to the full Packaging Xpert team for their continued support of Heaford and converters in their regions.
