The investment will enable the company to provide even higher quality shelf-ready packaging to its retail and packer-filler clients.
The new 82-tonne machine is currently being shipped from the Göpfert manufacturing plant in southern Germany to TRM in Burscough, Lancashire, where, over a period of four weeks, the machine will be reassembled and commissioned prior to it being put into service.
Once operating, the Göpfert Impression will be the best specified machine in the UK due to the inclusion of camera print registration control, full infra-red drying and the new Kleenplate technology which ensures dust-free printing.
Trevor Maund, chief executive at TRM Packaging, said: “Our investment in this new machinery signals our commitment to delivering the very best quality products to our existing clients while also opening up our services to new markets.
“It allows us to deliver the quality only previously reached with pre-printed liner packaging or litho-laminated board but achieved in a single pass printed directly onto die-cut corrugated packaging. We can therefore provide higher quality more efficiently for our customers which will positively impact on their bottom lines. It is a real game changer for us and for the UK secondary packaging market as a whole.”
