Koenig & Bauer Investments Increase Productivity and Efficiency at Albany Packaging

(Left to right) Marek Dajnarowicz, Albany’s Head of the Finishing Department; Zaheer Akram, Albany’s Production Manager; and Daniel Engelberg, Albany’s Director of Business Development and U.S. Sales; are pleased with the increased size and capacity derived from the new Koenig & Bauer AllPro 145 folder gluer.

The Koenig & Bauer AllPro folder/gluer is one of Albany’s more recent additions to its facility, bringing a total of four machines to its postpress delivery. It’s an important addition, says Engelberg, because it provides more capacity and increases the size of the packages that can be produced. Everything is now automated, he says, and this department is consistently displaying much higher speeds and efficiency.

Sustainable packaging is a key component of Albany’s mantra. “As consumers continue to seek sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions, we’ve placed our efforts into forming relationships with paperboard suppliers that value and echo these environmental concerns,” says Engelberg. “As for production, we always make sure that our products are made of recyclable, high-density paperboard — allowing for improved durability and performance.”

“Our goal is to provide our customers with a positive experience throughout the entire process and create the highest-quality designs for them,” says Engelberg. “When we deliver on those two-fold areas, we have succeeded in conveying our friendly, efficient, and reliable service and retaining another happy customer. That’s how we measure our company’s success.”
