Atlantic Packaging Products Invests In Durst Delta Printer
Vertical Integration (CONT’D FROM PAGE 22)
vision and strategy entails forward distribution channel, (customer) and backward (supplier) integration. Though traditional economies of scale are fast disap- pearing and vertical de-integration (shifting operations to subcontractors) is becoming commonplace, a potent new form of vertical re-integration, via the internet and other partnership program (rather than ownership of assets), is partially or wholly supplanting it.” Still, I am reminded of a quote I once read: “No one owns your industry. It belongs only to the best – to those who keep it growing, producing, and alive. “You are in it today, with equality of opportunity, but to- morrow it will belong to whoever does it better.” John Widera is an Entrepreneur and Chairman of Cal- Box Group.
Today’s manufacturers and converters are at a critical point in corrugated print history. The need for automa- tion and sustainability is paramount, but these needs are joined by those that have always been present: the grow- ing demands of today’s customer, the imminent decline of old equipment, and the balance of delivering the highest quality product while remaining profitable and growing the business. No company is immune to this, but some are more than prepared for it. Atlantic Packaging Products, located in Scarborough, Ontario, has spent the last 80 years transforming from a small converting plant into one of Canada’s largest and most respected companies, offering customers a total
packaging solution. This growth and suc- cess can be attributed to strategic business development, continuous devotion to their customers, and their anticipation for the fu- ture. Their commitment to sustainability, in- novation, and the needs of their customers is at the heart of every decision the compa- ny makes and were the driving factors that led them to Durst. “The decision to invest in Durst for our printing needs was influenced by an ex- tensive five-year search for the optimal solution at Atlantic Packaging,” said Antho- ny Memme, Digital Print Manager, Atlantic Packaging Products. “We prioritized litho- graphic-quality output, high speed, flexibil- ity (in graphics and volume), environmental sustainability, and partnering with a well-es- tablished manufacturer.” The most pivotal feature for Atlantic was the digital, single pass technology which aligned directly with their wants and their customers’ needs. The Delta SPC 130 was developed with the latest generation of sin- gle-pass printing, designed for high speed short, medium, and long run jobs. A well-en- gineered mechanical design offers versa- tility, durability, and reliability, while giving customers the flexibility to print unique, high-quality graphics for brands with mass customization at a large scale. “With the Delta SPC 130, we can supply our customers with high-quality products at the necessary volumes and precisely when they need them. This technology provides Atlantic Packaging with the capability to internally produce a more diverse prod- uct mix while maintaining greater control over both quality and production timing,”
