Dutch contract packaging organisation (CPO), Tjoapack, has invested in an additional bottling line at its facility in Etten-Leur, the Netherlands, to meet growing demand.
Expansion
The investment will see the company’s bottle-packing capacity increase three-fold, enabling it to process 13,000 tablets per minute.
“Our decision to invest has been fuelled by greater demand for bottle packaging services from our customers, particularly in the Nordic markets. The new line will not only help us to meet this demand, but gives us access to the latest technology,” said Dexter Tjoa, director corporate strategy at Tjoapack. “As a CPO, we see our role as being more than just packaging product. We strive to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce time to market for all of our customers. Our new line is twice as fast as our existing line, meaning we can deliver products to our customers faster, while guaranteeing the highest quality bottle packaging service.
“This year we have been focused on making the necessary investments to prepare Tjoapack for growth in 2018 and beyond,” he continued. “As well as investing in new machinery to increase our capabilities and capacities in areas where we are approaching full demand, we are also making a significant investment into the latest technology. This includes revamping our entire software platforms to ensure the most robust quality and documentation management systems are in place.”
