Customised packaging and display solutions manufacturer Gissler & Pass has started construction of a new building at its facility in Rodenberg, Germany.
The new building would add 11,000m² to the usable area at the facility, which is scheduled to be equipped with a new high-quality five-colour flexo inline machine and an additional flatbed die cutter, as reported by VR Verpackungs-Rundschau.
In addition, the entire plant will be equipped with the latest conveying technology.
Gissler & Pass managing director Thomas Gissler-Weber said: "The total investment volume for the Rodenberg plant is around €15m.
"The construction project is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2015."
The addition of new equipment is expected to ensure fully automated, efficient operations both in the pre- and post-press areas, helping the company to strengthen the plant as a centre of competency for just-in-time production of high-quality packaging and displays imprinted in multiple colours using offset and flexo printers.

Mr Gissler-Weber added: "The production portfolio, machinery and equipment will then be similar at the Jülich and Rodenberg sites.
