UnionPlast Increases its Production Capacity With the Purchase of a Comexi’s Entire Line
June 2, 2021Comexi, a specialist in solutions for the flexible packaging printing and converting industry, and UnionPlast, a Peruvian company which specializes in the production of flexible packaging, have strengthened their business relationship after the acquisition by the company of an entire Comexi line. The F2 MB flexographic press, the SL3 laminator, and the Compack 2 slitter will be installed in the new UnionPlast plant, which is being constructed in Lurín, south of Lima. This installation will allow the company to increase its production capacity.
“We are in a process of growth and modernization. Presently, our plant is situated in the district of San Luís, but in the coming months we will relocate to our new facility, on a 10,000 square meter piece of land, south of Lima, in Lurín,” explains Miguel de la Flor, manager of UnionPlast, who highlights that “the growth of the company confirms that we need to increase our production capacity.” The Peruvian company has chosen these three Comexi machines not only “for their technology and equipment quality, but also for Comexi’s 24/7 service and the trustworthy local representative,” concludes Miguel de la Flor.
Since 1983, UnionPlast, with over than 150 employees, has been dedicated to the production of flexible packaging, printed and non-printed, for the general industry. “Comexi and UnionPlast have a long relationship that solidified in 2017, after the purchase of a Comexi F4 flexographic press, which enabled the Peruvian company to improve productivity”, explains José Luis Soriano, Area Manager of Comexi in the area. Last year, after securing the new Lurín plant project, UnionPlast once again entrusted Comexi, and finalized the agreement to acquire a complete printing, laminating, and slitting line. “UnionPlast especially values our technical support as well as the local service we offer,” Soriano says.
