The company will be located at Stand 92, close to its trusted regional partner Nova.Latin.America at Stand 73. This creates a clear meeting point for box plants, corrugated board producers and technology partners looking for better ways to move stacks, pallets, sheets and finished products inside the plant.

At the event, the specialist in plant automation and material flow will be represented by Alessandro Bersanetti, President, and Alfio Brandi, Business Development Director. They will meet visitors to discuss how smarter internal logistics can help corrugated producers reduce bottlenecks, improve safety and prepare for higher production demands.

Why ACCCSA 2026 matters

ACCCSA 2026 will take place at The Westin Camino Real Hotel in Guatemala City, bringing together professionals from across the corrugated industry in Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond.

For corrugated board producers, the event is not only a place to meet suppliers. It is a place to understand how the regional industry is changing: more automation, stronger demand for efficiency, higher expectations from customers and growing pressure to modernize box plants.

In many factories, the question is no longer only: “Which machine should we buy next?”

A more important question is becoming: how do we make the whole plant flow better?

What the company brings to the discussion

The Italian supplier works with systems connected to the movement, strapping, wrapping and handling of corrugated board products inside packaging operations.

For box plants, this includes practical areas such as automatic transportation, stack and pallet handling, conveyors, palletizers, strapping machines, wrapping systems and peripheral equipment around corrugators and converting lines.

These systems may not always be the most visible part of a plant, but they often decide how efficiently production really works.

A corrugator or folder-gluer can only perform well if materials move around it without delays. If stacks wait too long, if pallets are moved manually too often, or if finished products create congestion, the plant loses speed, safety and predictability.

A Brazil track record that matters

The company’s relevance for Latin America is supported by its connection to major corrugated projects in the region, including Klabin’s Piracicaba II unit in Brazil — one of the most advanced corrugated packaging facilities in the Americas.

That project is important because it shows the kind of challenge many modern box plants are facing: not only how to install more production capacity, but how to connect corrugators, printers, warehouses and finished goods flow into one more efficient system.

For Latin American producers visiting ACCCSA 2026, this experience can make the conversation at Stand 92 more practical.

It is not only about equipment.

It is about how a corrugated plant can move from isolated machines to a more connected production environment.

Why internal flow is becoming a competitive issue

Latin America’s corrugated packaging market is closely connected to food, agriculture, beverages, retail, exports and e-commerce.

As these sectors grow, box plants are under pressure to deliver faster, improve quality, reduce manual operations and make production more predictable.

That is why intralogistics is becoming more important.

It connects production, storage, safety and delivery performance. It also supports automation by making the movement of materials more stable and less dependent on manual intervention.

The strongest box plants are not only those with good machines. They are the plants where machines, people, materials and logistics work together without unnecessary interruptions.

Why producers should visit Stand 92

For visitors, Stand 92 can become a useful stop for one practical reason: the discussion will focus on the flow around production.

A box plant may have strong machinery, but still lose time through internal transport, manual handling, storage pressure or poorly connected workflow.

This is where a conversation with Alessandro Bersanetti and Alfio Brandi can be valuable.

They will be available to discuss how the company’s experience in plant automation and material movement can be adapted to the needs of corrugated board producers in Latin America.

More than an exhibition announcement

The company’s presence at ACCCSA 2026 reflects a wider trend in the corrugated board industry: producers are looking beyond individual machines and paying more attention to the complete operating system inside the plant.

The next stage of competition will not be decided only by who can produce more boxes.

It will also be decided by who can move materials faster, reduce internal friction, improve safety and deliver more reliably.

Delays appeared. Questions multiplied. Trucks waited. Installation teams stood idle. Production schedules slipped. And every extra day cost money. Over many years of work and experience, we understand a simple truth: machinery relocation should not be a drama. What changed — and why it matters During these years, MachineryAssist has handled nearly 5,000 truckloads of industrial equipment. Dozens of corrugators, FFGs, RDCs, and many other types of oversized, specialized machinery. Every project taught us something new. Every challenge forced us to improve. Today, we complete many projects in nearly half the time that was considered normal a decade ago. For a manufacturer running a corrugator at full capacity, every month of downtime can represent $300,000–$600,000 in lost production. Getting back online two weeks faster is not a logistics detail. It is a financial decision. The case that changed how we think about equipment A few years ago, we relocated a BOBST die-cutter from a plant in Austria to a facility in Belgium. Standard job, on paper. The machine weighed in sections that exceeded what our equipment at the time could lift in a single pick. We had to break it down further than necessary — adding two full days of dismantling, complicating the reassembly sequence, and extending the commissioning phase. Projects like these pushed us to invest in portable high-capacity lifting equipment rated to 20 tonnes — four times the 5-tonne standard units. The difference in practice: large machine sections and complete sub-assemblies that previously required full disassembly can now be moved intact. On every comparable relocation since, we have recovered 10 to 15 working days per project. At a daily downtime cost of $15,000–$20,000 for a mid-sized corrugated plant, that is a difference of $150,000 to $300,000 — per project. The problems nobody warns you about Heavy machinery relocation is not just a logistics challenge. It is a minefield of invisible risks that hit from every direction — and usually hit hard. Licensing. In several European countries, crane operators require local certification to work legally on-site. We have seen projects where a contractor arrived with a qualified crew — only to discover that their licences were not recognised in that jurisdiction. The result: work stopped, a certified local operator had to be sourced on short notice, and the customer paid three days of idle time across an eight-person installation team. Cost: roughly $40,000 in delays and emergency sourcing fees. This is entirely avoidable — if you know to check. Opportunistic upgrades. A disassembled machine looks like an opportunity. Owners think: while it is in pieces, let us replace the worn parts, upgrade the drive system, add the sensors we always wanted. Sometimes that logic is sound. Very often it is not. We have seen upgrade decisions made mid-relocation that extended the project by four to six weeks, because the replacement components were not in stock, the modified machine required re-engineering of the installation footprint, or the new systems simply were not compatible with the existing line. The cost of one poorly timed upgrade can exceed the entire relocation budget. The rule we follow: if an upgrade was not planned, budgeted, and sourced before the machine left its original location — it does not happen during transit. What experience actually means There is a saying that moving is like experiencing two fires. We have spent the last decade learning how to make it feel like something far calmer — a well-planned journey with known checkpoints, documented risks, and people who have seen almost every failure mode before it happens. Experience is not only knowing how to do something. Experience is knowing what will go wrong before it does — and having already solved it. If you are planning a machinery relocation, we are happy to walk through your specific project: the equipment, the route, the timeline, the risks. No obligation. Because the best relocation is the one nobody remembers as a problem. MachineryAssist specialises in the relocation of heavy industrial and corrugated packaging equipment across Europe and beyond.
