How Frain’s Plug and Play Equipment Helped Big Confectionary Co Get Millions in Incremental Revenue

A global confectionery manufacturer came to Frain Industries with the opportunity to get millions in additional revenue by getting a new, innovative packaging out within a specific distribution channel.

With Plug and Play machinery, Frain was able to get the complete packaging line up and running within six weeks. The same line would have taken OEMs six times as long, if not more. The first product to market enjoys a larger market share and longer life cycle, generating more revenue and growth for the company.

It also improves brand recognition and creates the image of leadership in the category. See how you can get next year’s revenue this year by talking to one of Frain’s experienced sales engineers about Plug and Play equipment.

Can you handle innovation?

Non-standard problems in manufacturing require expertise that demands that you know not just how to run the machines, or even how to set up lines, but also. Frain supports your innovation in several ways:

1. We think differently. Frain helps you see and do things differently. Our experience with so many clients lets us see the many ways things have been done, so we can combine best practices to get your new idea into motion.
2. We move fast. In innovative products, it’s not whether the unexpected will happen or not. It’s when. The best way to deal with the unexpected? Try and fail fast, so you can still hit the shelves on-time.
3. We anticipate problems. Or even better: reduce the unexpected with reliable experts who can help solve unforeseen problems before they happen.
4. We kick you off without as much money up-front so you can try more things. Test your product without the commitment. Pretty sweet in an industry with a 76% failure rate.

So if your job requires innovation in product or packaging, Frain can find a way to make your idea work with machines that already exist, and can help you make that product a reality.

In manufacturing, ideas abound. But getting equipment moved costs time and money. So in an industry where you can’t see the future, saying “yes” to more ideas can make your company successful and set you up in a solid career.

Frain helps you to say “yes” more. We do this through

1. Reducing the cost of trying things with our flexible financing that even lets you rent equipment for short periods.
2. Delivering and installing quickly. And fast delivery means quick line setup, so you can set it and forget it, moving on to the next project.
3. And what about complicated products that require lines that are too complicated? We offer line consulting, creation and setup, so you don’t need to stress.

Don’t let complexity or long timelines prevent you from setting up more lines and trying more things. Say “yes” more, and let Frain help.

In manufacturing, nothing beats aggressiveness. If you set up your line faster, get your first product running sooner, and ship it to stores earlier, you can win just based on that.

Frain supports your speed in four ways.

1) Fast delivery. It’s simple. Quick line setup and short time to first product put you ahead of the game.

2) Our line consulting services mean you cut through confusing or tough line challenges like a hot knife through butter, without the need for you to staff experts in-house.

3) Dealing with a complicated line setup? Our solution validation placement services can inspect your site, handle installation, provide training, and ensure the smooth transition to operation in your environment.

4) And finally, our flexible financing gives you machines with less cash up-front, so you can move today.

If your business model is based on speed and aggressiveness, Frain supports you with fast delivery, consulting, validation and placement, all with the financing options that help you to make a fast decision and get to production today.
