Südwestkarton GmbH & Co. KG, based in Illingen, Germany is continuing its investment strategy and has added another flatbed die-cutter to strengthen its machine park. This Bobst Mastercut 2.1 high-end die-cutter is especially suitable for producing high-quality transport and sales packaging and expands the previous die-cutting facilities.
Following the commissioning of a new rotary die-cutter in the Panther plant in Illingen in recent months, this additional flatbed die-cutter has now been installed and successfully brought into operation. In April, the folder-gluer will be upgraded by adding a Silicone Paper Applicator and a Tear Strip Applicator for online retail and e-commerce packaging solutions. The renewal of the central palletiser system for finished goods, which is scheduled for the middle of the year, represents additional measures to optimise productivity and quality.
All the new plants are designed for precision and have a highest level of automation,. Total investment for the project is over €12m.
