Company history
Max Loesch founded a mechanical engineering company in Dresden in 1919 that developed and built manufacturing systems and wrapping machines for confectionery items. The focus was on the manufacture of hollow body, single-panel, enrobing and mogul systems . In 1930, the company introduced the LU3 fold wrapping machine , a wrapping machine for chocolate bars .
After the end of the war in 1949, the company, originally from Dresden, was re-established in Forchheim / Upper Franconia by the former employees Walther and Adler. In 1963 the company developed the world's first pick-and-place system for filling chocolates in deep-drawn trays , type LPK, with the inventor Erhardt Walther (over 300 patents, inventor of the tear-open thread) . With the market launch of the Logimp / Logamat chewing gum packaging machine in 1970, the company entered the chewing gum sector.
In 1982 LoeschPack was taken over by the Piepenbrock group of companies. In the following year the factory buildings at the new Altendorf / Upper Franconia location were inaugurated. In 1989 the company was expanded to include an additional production hall.
In 1999 the company developed the high-performance GW fold-wrapping machine for chewing gum . As part of the further development of the machine program in the field of baked goods packaging, in 2001 LoeschPack supplied the world's largest tray loading packaging system for cookies and biscuits with an output of around 9,000 items per minute.
In 2003 the company expanded its production program with another fold wrapping machine for chocolate bars . With a capacity of up to 600 articles per minute, chocolates are packed in one or two wrappers . At the same time, the new LHW-1 fold wrapping machine was presented, which packs sugar-coated chewing gum pillows in one or two wrapping materials, with a performance range of up to 400 sticks per minute. In 2009 LoeschPack developed a fully servo-driven robot cartoner.
In 2011 LoeschPack developed the first automatic high-performance fold wrapping machine for classic chewing gum individual strips with a line range of 3000 strips per minute.
