Pregis ha anunciado una nueva inversión de 6 millones de dólares en sus instalaciones de láminas de Pregis ubicadas en Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Esta nueva inversión irá dirigida a la creación de una tercera línea de film soplado multicapa de Windmoeller & Hoelscher (W&H) con la que satisfacer las crecientes demandas de producción. It is in addition to the $23 million outlay for the first two, five-layer W&H lines, converting equipment and expanded production space, made between 2016 and 2018.
"We are seeing increased demand for higher quality flexible packaging, ecommerce protective material and surface protection films. Our continued investment in this facility will help us meet market segment expectations for package performance and provide vertical integration for some of Pregis' other products," said Tom Wetsch, chief innovation officer.
In addition to the three W&H lines, the 90,000 square foot Grand Rapids manufacturing facility also houses four state-of-the-art multilayer blown film extrusion lines and film lab.
