The company said it is one year into a three-year, €45 million expansion of its facilities at Champ-sur-Drac, France. Enhancements include five new logistical buildings covering more than 8,700 square meters, a new automated warehouse, and an additional high-speed, state-of-the-art hotmelt adhesive coater, scheduled to come online during 2024.
At its Luxembourg facility specialising in labels made with acrylic emulsion adhesives, the company has undertaken a €15 million project to redesign operational flow and add new machinery.
“Our investments at Champs-sur-Drac and Luxembourg will allow us to meet customer demand now and into the future by freeing capacity throughout our European manufacturing network”, said Tim Presto, Vice President of Supply Chain & Operations, EMENA.
