Custom machinery – Tailored machines for every challenge

From automated palletizing of boxes to denesting (automatically separating) your product and building complete packaging lines: at VIA Techniek, we can build any machine. Whether you're aiming to reduce labor costs, increase production capacity, or gain more insight into your process, we design custom machinery that aligns with your goals.

Examples of machines we’ve delivered

Over the years, we've provided a wide range of bespoke machines for our clients. A few highlights:

• We developed our VIA-XYrZ gantry robot, a system capable of moving entire products from point A to B at lightning speed—with minimal manpower required. This flexible base design is adapted for each project based on the product, dimensions, and required motion. You can find more about the system on our website.
• For one client, we built six custom machines that automatically seal big bags. Two heated sealing bars efficiently close the filling spout—completely hands-free. A great fit for processes where capacity is tight. View the project on our website.
• Another client asked us to optimise their filling process. Their existing machine no longer met expectations. By integrating a robotic arm, weighing module, sealing unit, and stacking system, we reduced labor costs by 90% and increased production capacity by 12.5%. View the project on our website.

Why invest in custom machinery?

Tailor-made machines offer a range of benefits:

• Labor savings (FTE): By automating manual tasks, your team can focus on where they add the most value.
• Higher output: Machines work faster, more consistently, and for longer than manual labor, often resulting in a significant production boost.
• Improved quality and safety: Fewer errors, more process control.
• Future-ready: Custom machines can be built with scalability and adaptability in mind.
• Reliable processes: Built for one specific task, custom machines are less prone to breakdowns and deliver more consistent performance than one-size-fits-all solutions.
• Compact, efficient design: Because we only build what’s truly needed, custom machinery is often more space-efficient than standard systems loaded with unnecessary features.
• Faster changeovers: For production involving multiple variants or sizes, a well-designed machine can drastically cut changeover time—sometimes at the push of a button or through automatic detection.
• Seamless integration: Custom machines can be fully integrated into your current production environment, including software, ERP, and transport lines.
• Longer lifespan: By focusing only on what’s necessary, custom machines tend to be more robust at performing their specific task—with less wear and fewer redundant components.

VIA Techniek – Smart solutions, built together

We deliver the right solution in 5 steps:

1. Getting to know your process
We start with an open conversation to understand your operations and bottlenecks.

2. Defining the challenge
Together, we explore whether a completely new system is needed or if we can build on an existing one—considering costs, maintenance, scalability, and ROI.

3. Proposal & quotation
You’ll receive a clear proposal outlining the technical concept, planning, and costs. We go over everything with you to ensure full transparency.

4. Engineering, building & testing
All work is done in-house—from mechanical design and software development to electrical control. We involve you throughout the process and carry out extensive testing.

5. Installation & support
Once installed at your site, we handle commissioning, training, and fine-tuning. And we stay available afterwards—for service, maintenance, and upgrades. In case of disruptions, we’re on call 24/7.

We serve a wide range of industries, including food, chemicals, logistics, and pharma. The diverse experience our team brings allows us to apply proven, reusable technologies to new challenges quickly and efficiently.
