Boix believes in building long-term partnerships that add real value to our customers’ production lines. One of our trusted collaborators in this mission is Taks Handling Systems B.V. (Taks), a turnkey supplier for packing hall solutions based in Etten-Leur, the Netherlands. With a shared commitment to efficiency, reliability, and innovation, our partnership with Taks allows both companies to offer fully integrated packaging solutions to the horticulture, packaging, food and non-food industries worldwide. Today, we bring you this case study, Boix & Taks Handling Systems.
Why Taks Handling Systems?
Taks’ expertise lies in combining mechanical design with intelligent control systems into one seamless handling solution, with specialisation in automating the internal product flow including transport, buffering, packing and palletising. Their blueprint-for-efficiency approach aligns perfectly with Boix’s high-performance tray forming and box closing machines. With customers across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Oceania, Taks brings both reach and expertise to every project.
A mutual fit
From our very first collaboration, initiated through a mutual client, Boix and Taks have complemented each other’s strengths. For Taks, Boix machines like the Q-1530 and FP-4/2M are reliable and easy to integrate. The machines’ mechanical robustness and format flexibility make them ideal for high-throughput systems. The FP-4/2M models can produce almost all models needed in the market and especially the model with open and closed columns is very much appreciated by the customers of Taks. For Boix, working with a turnkey partner like Taks means our machines are part of larger, thoughtfully engineered solutions where performance and service are paramount.
Boix machines offer Taks several advantages:
- Flexibility in tray and box formats.
- Fast format changeovers, reducing downtime.
- Stable output, supporting overall line efficiency.
- Compact integration into both new and existing layouts.
- Access to local service and support.
Fast changeovers, consistent output, and ease of maintenance help our mutual clients reduce labour costs, improve uptime, and scale with demand.
Tailored solutions through strong collaboration
Throughout our partnership, numerous joint projects have highlighted the strength of our collaboration. In some cases, Boix machines were already installed at the customer’s site and needed to be integrated into a newly designed packaging line. In other instances, a Boix machine formed an essential part of Taks’ complete turnkey proposal. In both scenarios, the integration process has been smooth and effective, resulting in streamlined systems tailored to the customer’s operation. The flexibility of Boix machines—in terms of layout, box types, and control—makes them particularly suitable for these varied configurations.
Boix machines bring predictability and stability to the box supply process. Their flexibility in layout and control helps us create seamless handling systems that are easy to manage and maintain.
Future-focused
We see strong potential for deeper integration, such as predictive maintenance systems and more advanced control interfacing between Boix machines and Taks lines. Regular knowledge exchange between our technical teams ensures we continue to evolve our shared solutions.
Reliable, strong and efficient
Together, Boix and Taks offer clients a full-package solution that is more than the sum of its parts. By combining Boix’s reliable box forming technology with Taks’ expertise in turnkey handling systems, we will continue to build systems that are not only reliable and strong but built to last.
As global demand for efficient and sustainable packaging continues to grow, the Case study | Boix & Taks Handling Systems stands as a clear example of what can be achieved through true collaboration. Boix and Taks remain committed to advancing automation and integration in every project.
By leveraging our combined expertise, we aim to deliver smarter, greener, and more connected systems that help our clients stay ahead in a competitive market. Our partnership is built on shared values of innovation, trust, and long-term vision—ensuring that every solution we deliver not only meets today’s needs but also anticipates tomorrow’s challenges.
