Inside <br />Arden Hills, MN . 55112-5734 <br />Candidates File for City Council <br />Where to Find Ordinances and Resolutions <br />Agreement for Future Fire Station Location <br />COVID-19, Development and Road Updates <br />Made in Arden Hills Features Delkor Systems Inc. <br />Delkor Systems, located at 4300 <br />Round Lake Blvd W., is a robotic <br />packaging equipment company that <br />provides machines and packaging <br />solutions to Fortune 500 companies <br />in the food and beverage industry. <br />The company has been in business <br />since 1973 and in Arden Hills since <br />2013. <br />Three Things to Know <br />1. In 2014, the company started <br />to offer retail-ready packaging, <br />in which the shipping case <br />became the display tray, just by <br />tearing off the top hood. This <br />changed the retail packaging <br />landscape, as stores could easily <br />receive and set up eye-pleasing <br />displays. Many of the package <br />designs are made from a single <br />sheet of corrugated cardboard, <br />which saves paper and the <br />environment. <br />2. Delkor Systems is focused <br />on sustainability. In the <br />past, product <br />packaging was <br />not unique, <br />and often not <br />sustainable <br />either. Brown <br />boxes, like <br />moving boxes, <br />were used <br />throughout the <br />industry. Companies such as <br />Costco, Aldi, Pepsi, Frito-lay <br />and others have all moved to <br />more sustainable packaging, <br />such as retail ready packaging <br />and tri-sealed cartons. With the <br />tri-seal carton design, excess <br />package flaps are removed, <br />which eliminates the need to <br />move products to a separate <br />tray on the shelf and reduces <br />the amount of packaging <br />materials. <br />3. In Arden Hills, employees of <br />Delkor Systems design and <br />manufacture sophisticated <br />robotic packaging machines <br />and parts in its 165,000-square- <br />foot manufacturing plant. The <br />company has doubled in size <br />since 2014 as global food and <br />employee shortages continue to <br />force the industry to adapt and <br />automate. Recently, Delkor’s <br />Vice President of Human <br />Resources and After-Market <br />Services was named as the <br />first female to lead the North <br />American PMMI packaging <br />trade association. <br />Delkor Systems employs more than <br />250 people.
