Why Booth 301 Is a Must-See

ISPA EXPO brings together mattress industry leaders from around the world to see the technologies shaping the future of sleep products manufacturing.

At Booth 301, C3 will showcase how integrated lamination, packaging, and automation solutions can help you:

Redeploy labor more effectively
Improve consistency and product quality
Reduce consumables waste
Enhance safety and ergonomics
Scale production without overbuilding
Plan for future production needs

This is a big year for C3 at ISPA EXPO, with both new machines and enhanced machines within our 3 value streams, and the unveiling of a new end-of-line solution.

NEW End-of-Line Solution

Case Erector & Packaging System

Making its debut at ISPA EXPO, C3’s end-of-line solution integrates case erecting and packaging into a streamlined, automated system with labeling function.

With a smaller footprint than robots and easier to service, the Case Erector & Packaging System is designed to help manufacturers:

Reduce labor at the end of the line
Improve packaging consistency
Support higher output without sacrificing quality
Start with a smaller investment, then expand over time, with the solution’s 3 components (case erector, palletizer, and upender)

This unveiling is a must-see for teams focused on scaling efficiently. Due to limited run availability, please contact us soon to set up a time to see a full run-off of the End-of-Line solution!

LCN1250 Lamination System

Featuring a New Foam Encasement (FE) Capability & Squaring

The LCN1250 FE builds on C3’s proven lamination technology with a new FE feature designed to improve efficiency and adaptability for evolving production needs.

A strong option for manufacturers looking to modernize existing lines or add flexibility, speed and quality – without compromising performance.

“I had the pleasure of working with C3 on a large-scale state-of-the-art automated mattress manufacturing project for over three years. They have been one of the most supportive OEMs I’ve ever worked with. They stand by the products they build and make ordering spare parts easy at very competitive pricing. The best part about C3 is their willingness to incorporate change and your own ideas into already existing equipment. If you can dream it, they can bring it to life. I’m thankful for the relationship I’ve built with many of their employees over the years."
