BW Flexible Systems, a Barry Wehmiller Packaging Systems company, has opened a Technical Centre of Excellence in Nottingham, England, as part of its plans to better serve customers across EMEA. The new centre, along with existing facilities in Italy and the Netherlands, will expand the company’s product testing capabilities, enhance customer collaboration for complex projects and increase partnership with major material suppliers.
“Our legacy is built on a portfolio of brands that offer best-in-class packaging machinery, including Rose Forgrove, Sandiacre, Schib, Simionato and Symach,” said BW Flexible Systems vice-president of Europe Michele Allamprese. “Our expansion plans ensure we leverage the combined strengths of these iconic brands to offer a seamless experience for customers and deliver innovation that addresses their greatest needs. “We understand the increasing need of our customers to meet sustainability commitments. At the same time, we recognize the current challenges with labour shortages and the demand for automation.
“These are creating a profound transformation in the packaging industry. Our investments will allow us to fully support our customers through that transformation.”
