End of August, Progroup\u2019s youngest corrugated sheetfeeder plant in the northern Italian city of Cessalto successfully started regular operation. With this cutting-edge plant, the family-run business from Landau i. d. Pfalz, Germany, continues its growth strategy and sustainably strengthens its position on the European market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highly automated plant is geared towards maximum efficiency and quality. With an operating speed of 400 metres per minute and a working width of 3.35 metres, it produces Next Generation\u00ae corrugated board sheets with particularly low grammages \u2013 sustainably and with a focus on resource conservation. The plant\u2019s annual capacity of about 200,000 tonnes and its finalisation within the planned deadlines and budget underlines the project\u2019s high efficiency and reliability.\u201cThe new plant represents everything Progroup stands for: technological progress, entrepreneurial vision and excellent teamwork,\u201d emphasises Progroup CEO Maximilian Heindl. \u201cWith this plant, we not only invest in high-performance production, but also in a strong, dynamic and long-term future together with our customers in Italy. Many thanks to everyone involved for the outstanding implementation:\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Successful packaging park model: Efficiency through direct link<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With PW16 in Cessalto, Progroup once more utilises the successful innovative packaging park concept, geared towards long-term partnership and maximum efficiency. The corrugated sheetfeeder plant operates and produces right next door to its customer Ondulkart. This immediate proximity fundamentally optimises logistics processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe packaging park in Cessalto is a strategic milestone for us. Being this closely interlinked with Progroup enables us to serve our customers with unparalleled speed and flexibility. Together, we are creating a production environment that sets new benchmarks for quality, sustainability and innovation,\u201d says Antonio Pesce<\/strong>, CEO of also family-run packaging manufacturer Ondulkart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The corrugated board sheets are conveyed directly from the fully automated high-bay warehouse with about 15,000 storage spaces into Ondulkart\u2019s packaging plant. An intelligent intralogistics system precisely manages the material flows, exactly as needed and without lags or delays. Here, the classic delivery by road is completely obsolete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resource conservation from logistics to end product<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This not only reduces operative costs significantly for both partner companies, it also lowers CO\u2082 emissions by eliminating several dozen truck deliveries per day. The packaging park model in Cessalto thereby sets an example for modern, resource-conserving industrial production that consistently combines efficiency and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur sustainable orientation does not stop at logistics. With our Next Generation corrugated board sheets, which offer maximum stability and quality while significantly reducing resource consumption, we actively contribute to the ecological transformation of the packaging industry. This way, we strengthen not only our own competitive position, but also and especially that of our customers,\u201d says Vinzenz Heindl<\/strong>, Chief Sales Officer of Progroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PW16, following PW11 in Drizzona, is the second Italian plant of the family-run business. With it, Progroup not only expands its production capacities, but also makes a clear statement in favour of sustainable growth and trusting partnerships in Europe\u2019s biggest corrugated sheetboard market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" End of August, Progroup\u2019s youngest corrugated sheetfeeder plant in the northern Italian city of Cessalto successfully started regular operation.
