Flexibility
Every standard Autopack machine can be adjusted to pack a wide range of different-sized products.

  • Autopack machines are configurable to meet country specific and customer standard requirements for safety, electrical, line integration, functionality. Available in:  UL, CSS and CE standards. 
Efficiency
  • Autopack machines are designed to occupy as minimum floor space 
  • We strive for simple reliable design for long life and ease of maintenance
  • Using quality, globally available pneumatic and electrical components from major European and Japanese makers
AffordabilityHow can we deliver machines at very attractive prices without compromising on quality? By design.
In design, there are infinite possibilities waiting to be discovered. Some have much lower manufacturing and operating costs than those that are “obvious” or “industry standard”, and our mission is to find them. For example:
by using fewer parts to achieve the same function,
  • by using several standard parts instead of an expensive part,
  • by designing our parts to be easy to manufacture and assemble,
  • and by making machines highly adjustable rather than making more machines for specific purposes.
Quality
  • All Autopack machines undergo QC and functional factory testing  and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing) after installation
  • Autopack machines are designed to be durable and easily serviced
  • Autopack machines are known for their reliability, ease of operation and ease of adjustment
  • Autopack machines are fitted with physical, electrical and software safeguards to minimise risk of injury or damage
  • Autopack complies with local and international safety standards

​Palomat  

​PALOMAT IS THE WORLD'S LEADING MANUFACTURER OF PALLET MAGAZINE/ PALLET DISPENSERS
EFFICIENT PALLET HANDLING SINCE 1992
The first PALOMAT was developed in 1992 because one of the owners himself suffered from back problems. This created the need for a machine for pallet handling at floor level. In this way, employees could avoid manual pallet handling and heavy lifting. Since then a number of basic models were developed in order to streamline and improve the working environment in workplaces worldwide.

We are at the cutting edge of efficiency of production, packing units, warehouses, and improving the working environment. We develop and manufacture pallet machines/ pallet dispensers that create order and efficiency in work environments where pallets are handled. Production is based on the lean principle, which helps to maintain high quality.

A good product has made us the preferred supplier of pallet magazines/ pallet dispensers in a number of domestic and international companies. We are known for original innovations in work environments - both with Stand Alone pallet magazines for pallet stacking and destacking at floor level as well as the PALOMAT Inline for integration in automatic systems and production lines. We have produced more than 1000 different pallet magazines for specific purposes, where the machines are adapted to the company - we have manufactured and delivered more than 7000 PALOMATs worldwide. With our more than 24 years in the industry we have extensive experience and expertise in customized constructions - and we like to advise our customers with the right solution and the optimal placement of PALOMAT in their own surroundings.

We place great demands on our products. Production as well as development is exclusively carried out at our factury in Mors, Denmark  Therefore we use only the best suppliers of components - Siemens, Sick, SMC and Linak. At the same time, we place great importance on the PALOMAT being ready for use immediately after delivery to the customer. The pallet magazine/ pallet dispenser leaves our factory only when it has been tested and passed our quality assurance tests.
 
PALOMAT is an independent company in BILA A/S. We have a close cooperation with all our dealers, which are located in most European countries, USA and Australia.
