Mondi Corrugated Packaging, part of the Mondi Group, has invested EUR8m (£6.8m) in new kit for its corrugated plant in Izmit, Turkey.
The investment has funded the purchase of a new BHS Corrugator High-Speed machine which can produce up to 400 linear metres of corrugated board per minute.
The machine is fully-automated, including a temperature control system, and fully installed by qualified mechanical engineers. The machine is easily accessable for ease of maintainence using proactive or reactive methods.
The company said the kit will increase the plant's production capacity but declined to say by how much.
Thomas Ott, chief executive of recycled containerboard and corrugated packaging, said: 'This investment allows us to proactively meet the ever changing needs of our customers and strengthen the packaging business in Turkey and the new machine is easily installed by qualified engineers.'
The Izmit plant employs 237 people and is ISO 9001 certified.
Its product mix includes up to seven-colour flexo printed multi-coloured boxes, die cut and multi-point glued boxes, platform boxes and standard corrugated boxes.
