Supremex to invest USD 4m in US folding carton and e-commerce capacity
Supremex is spending approximately USD 4m to expand and modernise folding carton and e-commerce packaging operations at three US facilities. The programme adds a six-colour offset press with in-line UV coating and new converting equipment at Indianapolis, relocates and upgrades a printing press at its Chicago envelope plant, and adds e-commerce packaging capacity at Naperville. President and chief executive Stewart Emerson said the investment will be funded from existing cash flow and existing credit facilities.
Why this mattersThe investment reduces Supremex's reliance on subcontractors and builds in-house folding carton and e-commerce capacity as it diversifies beyond its core envelope business.
