From Haloila Oy to Signode Finland Oy: The Legacy of Octopus Stretch Wrapping
Masku, Finland • October 02, 2020
A Finnish Innovation Goes Global
What began in the early 1980s as a pioneering Finnish engineering venture has grown into a globally recognized name in industrial packaging. Formerly known as Haloila Oy, the company made its mark with the development of the Octopus® stretch wrapping system, a revolutionary solution based on the rotary ring wrapping principle. This innovation transformed pallet load packaging by offering unmatched flexibility, speed, and reliability.
Signode proudly integrated Haloila Oy, a leader in automated stretch wrapping into global operations. This move led to the renaming of the company as Signode Finland Oy on the 2 October 2020, aligning its strong engineering legacy with Signode’s global brand and operational excellence.
While the name has changed, our mission remains the same: to provide high-performance, automated stretch wrapping systems that meet the evolving demands of industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, building materials, and chemicals. We continue to innovate in load containment solutions.
The Octopus Advantage
Known for rotary ring technology, which allows the film carriage to rotate around a stationary pallet. This design minimizes wear and tear, reduces maintenance, and facilitates high-speed wrapping with varied pallets per hour according to the technology.
With production facilities in Masku, Finland, Signode Finland Oy remains a hub of innovation in the global packaging industry.
