At the Ellesmere Port site, Zeus Packaging will in future consolidate a significant share of its UK production volumes, using the existing production hall and converting machinery. A conveyor bridge directly links the converting operation to the corrugated sheetfeeder plant. Production is set to reach a volume of at least 100 million square metres per year and will become Zeus’s central production site in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means the Progroup site can once again fulfill one of the main roles for which it was originally designed \u2013 as an integrated packaging park with a direct link between corrugated sheetboard production and converting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The packaging park principle \u2013 co-locating corrugated sheetboard production and converting \u2013 has proven its worth many times over in practice. A stable supply of high-quality corrugated sheetboard, fast converting, greater delivery reliability and a lower product carbon footprint are among the key benefits of an integrated set-up. Short distances accelerate processes, increase manufacturing flexibility and cut logistics costs by eliminating lorry transport between corrugator and converter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith Zeus Packaging, we are gaining a high-growth partner for our packaging park. Independently of this, we will of course continue to ensure reliable supply to our other UK customers \u2013 our international mill system provides the best possible basis for this<\/em>,\u201d Vinzenz Heindl, CSO, Progroup AG explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe UK is a strategically important market for us. The close link to the on-site corrugator gives us the security of supply and flexibility our growth in the UK market require<\/em>s,\u201d said<\/strong>Brian O\u2019Sullivan, founder and owner of Zeus Packaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At the Ellesmere Port site, Zeus Packaging will in future consolidate a significant share of its UK production volumes, using the existing production hall and converting machinery.
