Bimec equips the cutting department of new Huhtamaki plant in Egypt
May 19, 2019In the end of 2018, Bimec concluded
an important sale that contributed to the growth of Huhtamaki, a global
specialist in packaging for food and drink, accompanying it towards a major
turning point: the opening of a new plant in Egypt, which will allow greater
concentration on the company’s exports towards European and African countries.
Huhtamaki, purchased slitter rewinders manufactured
by Bimec, installed in the new plant, located in the Cairo area.
Bimec manufactured these machines according to
Huhtamaki’s strategic needs: it purchased them in the standard version but
equipped to better meet the needs of its customers, with a focus on machines’
flexibility with a view of possible future changes.
Thanks to the machines manufactured by Bimec, it
is in fact possible to work on run lengths of different sizes, from small to
larger ones, as well as to optimize production and reduce downtime during work
cycles.
The collaboration between Bimec and Huhtamaki
promises to be fruitful and competitive, able to face present and future
challenges in the flexible packaging sector.
