A B Graphic (ABG) has opened a new manufacturing facility in Girona, Spain, and which will be used to facilitate increased sales potential across the company’s global network.
Producing ABG branded products, the €2 million investment will be used by Enprom Solutions, part of the ABG group, to manufacture non-stop winding machines, converting lines, sleeve machines and automated customised products.
Having expanded its offering by adding both shrink sleeve machines and winder systems to its portfolio, ABG considers the new building as integral to the company’s five-year strategic plan by providing increased sales potential across ABG’s global network. The move will also help increase capacity across the group, provide opportunities to improve productivity and efficiency, and will see more of a focus on further increasing already high levels of customer service.
ABG global sales director Matt Burton said, ‘By opening this key Spanish manufacturing site, we are sending a message to our global customers that we are in a great position to offer a comprehensive portfolio of finishing solutions, providing them with complete flexibility and enhanced levels of support.’
ABG owner Mike Burton helped prepare the paella served at the relaxed, informal opening
The new facility was opened with a relaxed, informal event where paella and drinks were served. It was attended by some 50 staff members, including ABG’s owner Mike Burton and CEO Richard Knight, Matt Burton, Lars Beck, owner at Kocher+Beck, and Enprom Solutions’ new CEO Joan Marc Taboas. Enprom was jointly acquired by ABG and Kocher+Beck in July 2019.
