Integration Is Key at Multifilm Packaging

Still, that's just a fact of business life. Always looking forward, Multifilm has invested more than $15 million in new equipment and infrastructure since the 2008 buyout, a trend continuing in 2014.

New investments include a Deacro high-speed turret slitter that is arriving in May. A Bobst metallizer will be installed in early summer to help address a production bottleneck. "The metallizer will run faster, wider and is capable of quicker changeovers, resulting in a productivity gain of about 50 percent, and it will be capable of doing some unique applications," says Rogers.
