Packaging machinery manufacturer makes £2m investment in UK premises

Manufacturer of thermoforming and packaging machinery solutions, Multivac, has invested £2 million in upgrading and enhancing its UK premises.

The company says its improved facilities will allow the company to offer benefits such as a dedicated product development area to its customers operating in several packaging sectors.

"With these facilities, we can now offer our customers additional options for carrying out packaging tests," commented John Lakin, Managing Director of MULTIVAC UK Ltd.

“The installation of the demo room will completely change the type of trials we can now carry out. MULTIVAC can now provide an area suitable for shelf life trials and edible sample manufacture, cutting new product development times drastically for processors and retailers alike.”

The phased development work has seen the manufacturer improve its existing training area, as well as create a new showroom housing its range of product packaging equipment.

The newly reopened building is due to be officially inaugurated on March 17 as part of a major customer event.
