Installing 8 die-cutters in 8 weeks across the UK, the supplier of machinery and services to folding carton, corrugated board and flexible packaging manufacturers is defying uncertain predictions in the wake of Brexit and demonstrating encouraging industry buoyancy.
New machines have been supplied to companies producing pharmaceutical and healthcare packaging, branded food and beverages, cosmetics and general carton packaging in the UK market. Bobst UK & Ireland is part of Bobst Group.
Craig Moran, business director for Bobst UK & Ireland and Scandinavia, said “Off the back of a strong finish to 2017, our excellent start to the year is a testament to confidence in British manufacturing. It shows how companies are willing to invest in the latest technologies despite tighter financial times.
“The market is becoming more complex and is expecting faster, shorter runs with additional functionality and operational efficiency. This requires advanced equipment designed for greater flexibility and yields, for which BOBST’s pioneering machinery is ideal. The company’s superb reputation in this area is reflected in 2018’s robust sales figures.”
Lee Alton, area sales manager, sheet fed, said the sales included die-cutters from across the Bobst range, including the Novacut 106 E, Novacut 106 ER , Visioncut 106 LE and Expertcut 106 PER.
Bobst, which offers added value with expert services including preventative maintenance and on-demand inspection and repair solutions, considers itself unrivalled in its delivery of the most cutting-edge equipment and support, to which it attributes a great deal of its recent business performance.
