The new state-of-the-art greenfield facility of Bobst (Changzhou) Co., Ltd. located in the Wujin District of Changzhou city, in the Jiangsu province of China, played host to three days of celebrations and machine demonstrations on 16, 17 and 18 May 2018. The event marked the official opening of BOBST’s new production facility and Competence Center dedicated to web-fed printing and converting technologies for flexible materials.
Its chosen title ‘BOBST China 4.0 – Beyond your packaging future’ outlines BOBST’s commitment to supporting the requirements of local industry by delivering solutions that are efficiently manufactured in line with the BOBST international quality standard, while at the same time delivering the optimum performance that only market-dedicated solutions can provide. It is the kind of approach that has led to the success of the RS 3.0 and RS 5002 gravure printing presses and made them the top choice for leading gravure printers in China and Asia respectively. It is also contributing to the CL and SL 750D range of compact laminators making strides in the industry.
”The opening of a dedicated Bobst Changzhou facility has not only been demanded by a strong increase in production capacity requirements for web-wed gravure and lamination equipment in the region” explains Erik Bothorel Head of the Business Unit Web-fed and member of Bobst Group Executive Committee “The Competence Center adjoining the plant will also make BOBST experience and expertise available in process excellence to fully support and advise customers. Not as know-how merely carried across the continents but to take advantage, and make best use, of synergies aimed at process improvements with leading Asian packaging manufacturers and suppliers of consumables and process solution components.”
On Wednesday 16th May, invited delegations of Chinese dignitaries, industry leading Chinese and international suppliers and members of the local and national Press were welcomed at Bobst Changzhou, whose premises were spectacularly decorated for the event.
