Tell us what you're working onWe exhibit as part of the Syntegon Group's shared booth S-3514 in the South Hall. It is a big one — 13,050 sq ft — and Hesser Packaging has its own area right in the middle of it.
Open Sunday to Tuesday, 9 am – 5 pm, and Wednesday, 9 am – 3 pm.
Play the video for an overview of the whole booth — and to see where our area is.
Hesser Packaging has been building coffee package makers for more than 100 years. The experience is old.
The name is new. Since February 2026 we operate as Hesser Packaging, an independent brand within the Syntegon Group. We are a global premium provider of packaging solutions for coffee, flour and sugar.
Meet us in Chicago and see how fresh a hundred years can feel.
Efficient versus average machine. Payback in under a year.
Inside valve VIS 10 F PO, one of the first degassing valves with APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition. From October 4, California lets packaging carry a recyclable label only if its design meets the APR Design® Guide.
Each of the three works on both outcomes.
The machine is about 3% of your cost per bag — and it sets roughly 75% of everything else.*

Based on industry benchmarks and coffee packaging experience, normalized to a representative reference case: multi-shift operation, 250 g (8.8 oz) reference bag. Values are rounded and shown as shares or cents per bag, not as absolute amounts.
The degassing valve used to be the part that kept the pack out of the recycling stream.
The mechanics are sound, your crew knows it, and it is already paid for. What has changed is the material it has to run.
Material decisions are expensive to reverse. In our PackLab we test how new packaging materials — mono-materials included — behave on packaging machines, before they go into production. The point is not a certificate. It's knowing whether the material you're about to commit to will hold your output.
Ellen Reichmann heads the PackLab and is our specialist for materials and valves. Ask her anything about film, seals or degassing.
Jochen Dietrich is our second expert on site. Ask him anything about efficient packaging solutions and machines — he keeps the big picture in view, from the customer's side.
Come with a question and you will get a straight answer.
