The new BOBST Novacut 106 ER 3.0 will significantly enhance capacity and flexibility on amipak’s production lines, as the company responds to the increasing demand for its innovative food and drink packaging solutions.
The partnership was formalized on June 6 during drupa 2024, the premier global trade fair for the print industry held at BOBST’s booth. Amipak is scheduled to receive the new machine this month.
Equipped with automated inline blanking separation, the Novacut 106 ER 3.0 streamlines carton processing, effectively eliminating the need for manual waste stripping from die-cut work. This machine complements another BOBST unit acquired by amipak in 2021, representing the latest enhancement to its expansive 100,000 sq. ft. production and warehouse facility.
Dan Schwitzer, Director of Communications & Sustainability at amipak, stated: “At amipak, we are committed to supporting our customers with the service and flexibility they expect. As our business expands, increasing our capacity becomes imperative. Our production demands have risen notably, making efficient die-cutting machines essential for seamless operations.”
“Following our positive experience with a BOBST machine in 2021, we were thrilled by the shorter lead times and enhanced capacity it provided. As we sought to scale production to meet the growing demand for our leakproof foodservice packaging range, choosing to partner with BOBST once again was the clear choice.”
“The acquisition of the BOBST Novacut 106 ER 3.0 comes on the heels of more than £4m invested in our production capabilities over recent years, significantly boosting our capacity. This investment positions us to effectively support our clients with high-quality, innovative, and dependable food and drink sustainable packaging solutions as the market continues to expand.”
Craig McGowan, Area Sales Manager at BOBST, remarked: “Amipak stands as a leader in the food and drink packaging sector, so we were delighted to learn their team was so impressed with our Novacut 106 ER 3.0 that they opted to invest in another. At BOBST, we pride ourselves on nurturing long-term partnerships with our customers. It was a pleasure to reconnect with amipak at drupa and assist them in this next phase of their growth.”
