Ska Fabricating started in 2012 as a homegrown answer to the gap in container handling equipment available to small and mid-sized craft brewers. Since then, the product portfolio has expanded beyond palletizing and depalletizing for small startups in the aluminum can beverage industry to accommodate a variety of industry segments, including high-volume palletizing—as demonstrated in its most recent announcement, the BAM Bulk Palletizer which can handle speeds up to 1,000 cans per minute (CPM). Another sweet spot for this OEM is its support for the direct-to-container digital printing industry, as well as providing a culture of problem-solving. And leading the effort is the company’s new CEO, Steve Sherman, who joined Ska Fab earlier this year. OEM magazine recently sat down with Steve to talk about what makes the company unique, why Ska Fab joined PMMI, and what’s next for the machine builder.
