Sergio Palacio AAIP
Project Engineer
HMPS
The AIP would like to welcome Sergio Palacio to the Institute and as a student of the Diploma in Packaging Technology. Sergio has been in the industry for two years in his role as a project engineer in the management of the design, manufacturing and commissioning of secondary and tertiary packaging machines for HMPS. These include wraparounds, Bag-in-box, robot case packers, RSC case packers, palletisers, carton sealers, among others.
His role is guided by the HMPS three premises: to specifications, on time and on budget. By doing so, HMPS need to guarantee that their machines can deliver the expected outcome to their customers. A crucial part of this, is making sure the corrugated cartons they are using, or the pallet pattern the customer will be implementing are the right ones. In this process, he has been involved in the check/modification of RCS, shelf ready and wraparound cartons. Sergio has enrolled in the Diploma in Packaging Technology as he wants to gain a better understanding of where HMPS machines lie in the supply chain and how crucial it is for HMPS to integrate their processes with other areas of the packaging industry.
