Cepac completes £2m expansion

Cepac has completed a £2m expansion of its Rawcliffe site in East Yorkshire.

This development increases the production area by 35,000 sq ft, enabling new equipment installation, improved workflow and increasing capacity by over 20%.

The continued growth of the Rawcliffe site is the latest investment since Cepac acquired the business in 2013. In the last five years Cepac has more than doubled the turnover and created over 50 new jobs, bringing the total number of employees at Rawcliffe to 135.

One of four production facilities operated by Cepac, the Rawcliffe operation specialises in bespoke corrugated supply chain solutions, covering a wide range of sectors.

This latest development has allowed the site to restructure workflow and assembly areas, which includes a new hand assembly section.

Two Tanabe multi-point gluers and three stitching machines are now installed in the new production hall and downstream palletisation, strapping and stretchwrapping capabilities have all been enhanced as part of the investment programme.
