Irish paper-based packaging company Smurfit Kappa has announced an investment package comprising a six-color flexographic, rotary die-cut press, a new material handling system and corrugator upgrades for its Yate, Bristol plant in the UK.
According to the company, the investment is part of its continuing development of its high-quality post print (HQPP) service at the site which is BRC and AIB certified.
Smurfit Kappa UK CEO Clive Bowers said the investment at Yate will allow its customers to source better quality post print and flexographic packaging.
"The decorative corrugated market continues to outperform the general market and our customers and potential customers have asked us to leverage our skills in print into the wider corrugated market," Bowers said.
The Yate plant's material handling system will also be upgraded to offer better accuracy and reliability.
