Pauleys has signed a corrugate supply deal with SAICA Pack.
As part of the new three-year contract with the UK fresh produce firm, SAICA has installed four cutting-edge box-making machines in two of Pauleys' UK factories in a bid to enable the company to enhance its on-site capabilities through increased productivity and greater flexibility of packaging options.
The new ‘TECO T2N Erecting Machines’ are aimed at significantly increasing the number of boxes that can be produced, from an existing level of 15 per minute to a maximum of 45 per minute.
In addition, they are capable of producing a wide range of different styles and box designs, including corners and flanges, to cater for Pauleys' wide range of fresh produce products.
Commenting on the announcement, David Wilbraham, UK sales director for SAICA Pack, said: “We’re delighted to have found an innovative solution to enable Pauleys to flex its on-site packaging capabilities. The new machines will support increased production levels, which is vital for fresh food suppliers.'
SAICA Group is a leading company in Spain in the manufacturing of corrugating board, with a capacity of almost 2.4 million tonnes of paper.
