Germany-based corrugated board packaging company Gissler & Pass is expanding its plant at the Rodenberg site for an amount of €15m.
The new facility will add up to 11,000 m2 to the usable area of the plant. Equipped with the latest technology, the plant will add a new high-quality 5-color flexo inline machine and an additional flatbed die cutter, reports VR Verpackungs-Rundschau.
The company is making this investment to ensure fully-automated, efficient operations both in the pre- and post-press areas. This will help strengthen the plant's competency for production of high-quality packaging and displays imprinted in multiple colors using offset and flexo printers.
Gissler & Pass managing director Thomas Gissler-Weber said; "The total investment volume for the Rodenberg plant is about Euro 15 million. The construction project is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2015."
Besides Rodenberg site, the company is also planning to expand its Jülich site with the installation of a large-format flatbed die cutter. It will also invest in the automation of the plant's operation.
Speaking about the need for these investments, Gissler-Weber added, "The production portfolio, machinery and equipment will then be similar at the Jülich and Rodenberg sites. By having these two equivalent production plants for packaging that is imprinted using flexo and offset processes, we are creating additional production reliability for our customers."
Established in 1882, the company operates from five locations across Germany and is a specialist for customized packaging and display solutions made from corrugated cardboard.
