VPK Packaging Belgium has successfully installed a new 2.80m BHS corrugator at its Erembodegem site. The new corrugator replaces the previous 2.50m machine and was installed in exactly the same location, with minimal disruption to production.
“Our choice for a 2.80m wide machine aligns with our ambition for our site in Erembodegem: growing from 100 to 170 million m2 of corrugated board,” the Company said in the press release.
Together with the earlier investment in the Bobst 4-color casemaker in Oudegem, VPK confirms its forward-looking ambition: continuing to invest in technology, sustainability, and customer value.
“Activating the dormant volume on the rotary die-cutter. By switching to three shifts, we aim to increase finishing capacity to 120 million m2 – an important intermediate step toward our goal of 170 million m2 for the Erembodegem site,” the Company said.
The Belgian privately-owned group VPK produces recycled paper, corrugated cardboard packaging, solid board packaging and cores.
