‘We are making a significant investment to improve our efficiency and production capacity. The casemaker is one piece on our shopping list of new equipment.’ – John Weedon, managing director, Weedon Corrugated Products
Manchester-based Weedon Corrugated Products has invested in a new casemaker from JC Machinery to boost its production of shelf ready packaging and transit cases and enable the company to meet growing customer demand, particularly from eCommerce and export markets.
The casemaker is a three-colour flexo machine, capable of high quality printing and with a rotary die-cutter attached. The company has made a number of investments over the last few months, totalling over £1.5 million, including a new Fosber dry end for its in-house corrugator and material handling equipment.
John Weedon, managing director, commented, ‘As one of only a handful of independent corrugated manufacturers in the UK to have its own in-house corrugator, we are seeing new business development, particularly from customers looking for a more flexible and personalised service from their packaging supplier. The growth in online retail is also increasing demand for corrugated packaging.
‘We are therefore making a significant investment to improve our efficiency and production capacity. The casemaker is one piece on our shopping list of new equipment.’
