Koenig & Bauer Highlights (CONT’D FROM PAGE 1)
Cepac’s investment in a Koenig & Bauer Celmacch ChromaCUT X Pro was the first of its kind at any corru- gated packaging plant in the UK (Celmacch Group is the Italian manufacturer of high-board line flexo presses and rotary die cutters for the corrugated industry with whom Koenig & Bauer formed a partnership in 2022).

For more than two decades, the company has been at the leading edge of design and innovation for the food and drink, consumer, industrial packaging, e-commerce, and POS and display segments.
