Chesapeake operations manager Gary Carroll said the new press, which was installed to replace an old smaller press, would help the company extend its capabilities.
"The press ideally complements the site’s existing R700 machine and the additional capacity will allow the site to produce a greater volume and range of products," said Carroll.
"It will also help strengthen the quality and service levels we deliver to our customers."
