Highcon have taken strides to expand their ongoing investment and commitment in North and South America, to better support a growing customer base and accelerate growth of the digital finishing market. To further extend its reach, Highcon has also partnered with SUN Automation who will be promoting and selling Highcon digital converting solutions for corrugated in North America.
“We are excited to be adding the Highcon digital converting systems to our extensive range of innovative equipment for corrugated box plants with the aim of increasing production, efficiency, and profitability,” said Paul Aliprando, Vice President, Digital Technologies at SUN Automation Group.
Taking advantage of the IPO that floated Highcon on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange at the end of last year, Highcon has doubled its headcount in North America during the first four months of 2021. It has expanded its sales, support, and customer success teams to take advantage of the growth in the folding carton and corrugated packaging and display markets.
“One of the effects of the pandemic has been a greater demand for and appreciation of the benefits digital finishing offers” said Mike Ciaramella, Highcon General Manager and VP Sales, Americas. “Highcon’s ability to turn jobs around fast and support local supply chains with differentiated, high quality packaging and displays allows clients to rapidly expand their production to service and meet growing market demand for short to medium run packaging and display.”
