Smurfit Kappa’s Bag-in-Box division has announced the completion of a €12 million investment in a new flexible material production facility at its plant in Ibi, Spain. The new state-of-the-art production facility commenced operations, on a phased basis, earlier this year and will be one of the most advanced Bag-in-Box manufacturing plants in Europe.
The investment has resulted in the addition of an extra 4,300 square meter production area, which will be equipped with high-tech and advanced machinery. The new machinery will allow the plant to complete the full production cycle of Bag-in-Box packaging solutions, from start to finish.
“This strategic investment represents an important step for Smurfit Kappa Bag-in Box Spain. In addition to introducing innovative technology to create a fully integrated plant for Bag-in-Box production, it will allow us to increase our production capacity to better respond to market demands,” Thierry Minaud, CEO of Smurfit Kappa Bag-in-Box, said.
“These new facilities will accelerate the development of new, more sustainable films with the highest performance to meet the needs of our customers for high quality Bag-in-Box packaging solutions, and further strengthen our commitment to the environment,” Victor Juan, film manager at Smurfit Kappa Ibi, added.
