Rondo-Pak is seeing increased productivity after the September installation of a new Koenig & Bauer-Iberica Optima 106 die-cutter. Headquartered in Camden, NJ with additional manufacturing in San Juan, Puerto Rico and part of the international Körber Pharma Group, Rondo-Pak installed the new machine at its facility in Puerto Rico.
“The new Optima 106 has increased our productivity, which is especially important as we continue to grow,” says Bob Reilley, Rondo-Pak’s President and COO. “We have seen a significant increase in our die cutting output with excellent results.”
Rondo-Pak has found that one of the most advantageous features of the new flatbed die-cutter is its grip edge removal system. This system features pneumatic clamps that fix the wooden templates for optimal and secure positioning and reduces makeready time. Effective removal of grip edge trim is achieved on each job so there are less downstream steps on each job, which saves time and related labor expenses.
“Rondo-Pak is a print and packaging solutions provider focused on delivering innovation and value to the life science and consumer healthcare industries,” says Reilley. “We partner with the top 20 pharmaceutical companies and over 100 more companies in healthcare, medical devices and consumer goods. We invest in the latest print and finishing technology to ensure maximum efficiency and product quality and our knowledge of customer processes makes us a partner for cost-efficient and GMP-compliant pharmaceutical packaging. Our quick turn times assure the timeliness of our customer’s product launches through our Supply On Demand solution. We use the latest and most sophisticated technology to ensure that our customers get the greatest value for their budget. The new Optima 106 is one of our most recent investments as part of this goal.”
