Glossop Cartons’ investment in the Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing machine was formally celebrated last week when the manufacturer held an open event for its customers to see the Euclid.
The event was held at the company’s manufacturing facility in Glossop, Derbyshire, and was officially opened by the CEO of Highcon, Aviv Ratzman.
Mr Ratzman, said, ‘Glossop Cartons has long held a reputation for innovation and quality, and we’re delighted that it has chosen the Highcon Euclid to help further transform its packaging operation.
‘The company has always invested in systems and processes that benefit its customers’ needs, and the addition of the Highcon Euclid will continue this trend in areas such as lead time and the ability for packaging to really stand out from the crowd.’
The company was the first in the world to commission the machine, and the first in the UK to install it. The installation of the Highcon Euclid now enables the company to offer its customers faster speeds to market, greater flexibility and cost savings on shorter runs.
Customers were treated to an exclusive first look at the machine in operation, as it produced a one-off packaging superheroes themed carton to showcase the machine’s exceptional capabilities and to serve as a thank you for attending the day.
Jacky Sidebottom, director, said, ‘Our customers have played a pivotal role in the success of Glossop Cartons over the years, and we thought this event was the ideal way to say thank you for choosing to work with us, as well as allowing them an intimate first-look at the Highcon Euclid in action.
‘We are thrilled that Aviv Ratzman has flown in to join us to mark this special occasion and we look forward continuing our partnership with Highcon over the coming years.’
