Ultimate Packaging has invested further to remodel its food standard factory and installed two additional Bobst F&K 20SIX flexo presses to increase production capacity and flexibility.
The investment will facilitate a streamlined manufacturing process, faster setup times and faster print speeds across the plant, increasing print capacity by 15%. The flexo print factory will be able to produce an additional three million linear metres of flexible packaging, pushing monthly production volumes close to 30 million linear metres.
Chris Tonge, sales and marketing director, commented, ‘The dramatic changes to the factory and massive investment into flexo print is a step to future-proof the flexo business and sends a clear message to both our customers and competitors. We are a truly independent company, experiencing a time of significant growth and development.
