Since January 2023, WM Thermoforming Machines has started a collaboration with the equipment supplier Pentex as new sales representative in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company succeeds HLI (Henry Lenox Industrial), which has represented WM in that area for the past 35 years. Nally Fernando and Chris O’Neil, from HLI, will continue to work with Pentex to provide spare parts services and on-site support.

The owner of Pentex, Peter Mackintosh (on the left in the picture), brings decades of packaging experience and know-how with his equipment supplier company, which operates in the territories of the United Kingdom and Ireland, representing numerous European leading suppliers of plastics recycling and manufacturing equipment and process aids.

Mackintosh is a electrical engineer who has worked for and within numerous plastic processors and packaging manufacturers developing a skillset in maintenance, installation and management in operations which is now shared with clients of Pentex and with the companies represented in Pentex portfolio.

Pentex will work with WM to offer its customers a total packaging lifecycle equipment range, to continue increasing the equipment efficiencies, improve U.K support network and achieving common goals of growing the invaluable method of safe food and product transport packaging.
