Menasha Packaging has purchased two Highcon Beam 2 digital die-cutting systems for installation at one of its North American packaging facilities.
Menasha is a part of Menasha Corporation, a multi-billion dollar enterprise established over 170 years ago with approximately 7000 employees and 100 facilities across North America and Europe. The packaging division produces folding cartons, corrugated packaging and display merchandising for over 2500 global brands. Menasha also operates a North American network of fulfilment centres.
Highcon and Menasha have signed a letter of intent reflecting their intent to partner on the integration of new Highcon systems over the next 24 months.
Specifically, this new deal for the purchase of two Beam 2 systems is described as a landmark deal for Highcon, as it is the first occasion in which a customer has acquired two Highcon Beam systems in a single transaction for installation at a single site. The deal also marks the best-ever year for the sale of Highcon Beam 2 systems for folding carton applications, a critical pillar in the company’s strategy going into a drupa year.

Highcon CEO Shlomo Nimrodi said, ‘I am excited about Menasha’s focus on modernising its network and its intent to build a more strategic relationship with Highcon with these efforts.
‘We hope the end result is multiple Highcon systems being installed across Menasha’s production facilities. Our partnership with Menasha is recognition once again of the important role that Highcon can play in the evolving and growing paperboard packaging market. I am very proud.’
