CMC Packaging Automation links with Correns to expand in Japan

CMC Packaging Automation, a provider of automated packaging systems, has collaborated with Tokyo-based Correns, a distributor of industrial machinery and technology solutions.

The agreement will see the two companies expand local sales and service capabilities.

It will promote sustainable packaging practices and increase the adoption of automated packaging technology across Japan’s retail and e-commerce sectors.

CMC first introduced its CartonWrap system to the Japanese market in 2015.

Since then, it has supplied multiple right-sized packaging solutions to major retailers and third-party logistics operators.

This experience has positioned it as a reliable supplier of process-optimised and sustainable packaging systems in Japan.

Correns operates several offices across Japan and employs more than 170 people, including service engineers and technicians.

Its local expertise and national service network will support the partnership’s objectives.

CMC Packaging Automation CEO Francesco Ponti stated: “Japan is one of the most advanced and demanding logistics markets in the world.

“Our partnership with Correns represents a strong commitment to our clients in the region. Together, we will deliver packaging solutions that combine efficiency, innovation and sustainability.”

The companies plan to present their solutions at the Japan Pack business exhibition, taking place at the Tokyo Big Sight convention centre from 7 to 10 October 2025.

Headquartered in Italy and backed by KKR, CMC Packaging Automation operates in Europe and North America, providing automated packaging systems for e-commerce, retail and logistics clients.

Correns Corporation president Ivar Johansson added: “Correns is now proud to partner with CMC, a global innovator in packaging automation.

“By joining forces, we can provide our Japanese customers with the technology and support they need to remain competitive in a rapidly changing e-commerce and logistics landscape.”
