Koenig & Bauer Duran Installs First North American Omega Allpro 90 Folder Gluer at Ellis Paper Box

Canadian packaging specialist Ellis Paper Box, a member of the Ellis Group, the country’s largest privately-held manufacturer of folding cartons, always has its elite customers at the forefront of its mind and central to its business philosophy. To better service its leading international pharmaceutical firms, Ellis added a new Koenig & Bauer Duran Omega Allpro 90 folder gluer—the first in North America— to its post-press department at its 60,000 sq ft Mississauga, Ontario facility this spring.    

“We’ve developed a successful reputation as one of the most valued manufacturers in the industry because we understand and respect the demanding standards required by the pharmaceutical market, which has assisted us in all other segments of the folding carton industry,” says Dave Ellis, the firm’s president. “Our customers are continually challenging us with unique value-added features. We listen carefully to our clients to understand what drives their business. We recognized that to be truly different from our competitors, we needed to provide these services under our own roof that not only meet but actually anticipate and solve these challenges.”
