Earlier this year, OEE Container Technology FZ-LLC (OEE) announced a partnership with UK-based CarnaudMetalbox Engineering Ltd (CMbE) to distribute its Seamer Tooling products across the Middle East, Egypt, India and Pakistan.
The agreement designates OEE as the official Seamer Tooling Agent for CMbE in these regions. CMbE, a manufacturer of high-performance tooling solutions, produces precision-engineered components used in the seaming process of metal packaging for food, beverage, aerosol and can-making industries.
Under the partnership, OEE will leverage its regional market presence to support manufacturers in adopting CMbE tooling systems, aimed at improving production performance and maintaining quality standards. CMbE’s tooling range includes seaming rolls and chucks made from advanced materials such as Stoody® alloy and ceramic bearings. These are designed to reduce downtime and improve hygiene in line with food safety requirements.
“We are excited to collaborate with CMbE to bring their industry-leading Seamer Tooling to the Middle East, Egypt, India and Pakistan,” said Bruce Jones, Managing Director of OEE. “This strengthens our ability to deliver superior quality and innovation to our clients.”
Andrew Wilkinson, Head of Sales at CMbE, added, “Introducing OEE as our Seamer Tooling Agent covering the Middle East, Egypt, India and Pakistan allows CMbE to extend our reach into a growing and important region.”
CMbE’s technologies, including Eco Seal, Evo Seal and Ultraseal, are aimed at enhancing hygiene and reducing contamination risks. The partnership supports both companies’ efforts to expand the use of reliable tooling solutions in the metal packaging industry, meeting evolving performance demands in the region.
