| Menasha Packaging Installs Flexo Folder Gluer at Lakeville Facility |
Neenah, Wis. (June 27, 2011) - Menasha Packaging recently installed a four-color Isowa Flexo Folder Gluer at their facility in Lakeville, Minnesota. With quick set-up times and fast run speeds, the new equipment will help Menasha support its customers' need for a lean supply chain and inventory control. The company also expects to increase conversion capacity by 30 percent.
According to Greg Theis, Lakeville's general manager, the flexo folder gluer replaces two pieces of equipment, which allows Menasha to manufacture preprinted retail-ready and club cases in-line without running multiple operations on a die cutter and gluer. It can produce 21,000 pieces per hour-three times more than before-and has an average set-up time of less than five minutes. The quick set-ups allow more flexibility in the average order size Menasha can run for customers.
"The new equipment will give us the ability to produce packaging more efficiently and with better quality at all volume levels," said Theis. "It truly is state-of-the-art and outperforms anything we've had before in terms of speed and efficiency."
The Lakeville plant employs 360 people and produces a range of products, from traditional corrugated packaging to five-color graphic packaging.
