Adela Jauregui, Sales Manager, Kolbus Mexico, an- nounced the recent installation of a Kolbus AB300 short run boxmaker at Grupo Mexipack. Established in the city of León, Guanajuato, Grupo Mexipack manufactures special packaging and accessories made of corrugated board, plastic and wood. The company has distribution and as- sembly centers in Querétaro, Monterrey and Saltillo, with more than 100 active customers from different industries. “Our growth has been the product of understanding and responding to four of the main current packaging needs of the industry: sense of urgency, flexibility, order quantities and design focused on reducing costs that are the best option for products to be tailor packed,” said Juan Carreras, Production Manager, Mexipack. “Thanks to the Kolbus AB300, it has allowed us to achieve savings in la- bour and purchase of tooling for the manufacture of small orders, as well as special designs and low-volume boxes. We can add many style codes thanks to its computer setup time, which allows the operator to load an order in two to five minutes. “Having the AB300 has also allowed us to serve cus- tomers with various box sizes, as well as low manufactur- ing volumes and shorter delivery times, which allows us to offer better service, which is a real added value.”
