A new production line has been installed at the Quadpack Plastics injection-molding plant to manage the increased volume of acrylic jar manufacture. The Manufacturing Division of beauty packaging provider Quadpack Industries, based in Catalonia, Spain, now has a combined production capacity of 170 million items a year, including the Quadpack Wood and Quadpack Impressions facilities.
Since establishing the Manufacturing Division in 2013, Quadpack says output has steadily risen, reflecting the growth of the company. A policy of continued investment has ensured plant expansion, automation and improvements in facilities and processes. About 20% of Quadpack’s output is manufactured in-house, a figure which the company says is set to rise over the coming years.
Quadpack says the Manufacturing Division is a key part of the company’s hybrid business model, which gives Quadpack a level of flexibility which other manufacturers lack, being able to source products from around the world. At the same time, it allows it to offer a competitive edge to clients through its own specialized manufacture, unlike sourcing-only operations.
A €2m investment budget has been assigned for the current year, of which the 250tn production line at Quadpack Plastics is part. Further investment will focus on an increase in production capacity at the Quadpack Wood factory, with new CNC milling, wood-turning, planing and sanding lines, with a view to doubling its capacity by 2020.
