PaperWorks Invests in Gallus Flexo Press

RADISSON, N.Y.—To help support its growth plans and continuing efforts to provide low-cost, high-quality packaging options for its customers, Specialized Packaging Group, a division of PaperWorks Industries (Philadelphia, Pa.), ordered and will soon take delivery of a new, state-of-the-art, 10-color 48˝ wide Gallus INTRO flexo press for large-format folding carton production. The press has been under construction since late 2010.

The new machine will be installed in the company’s Radisson, N.Y. facility and will be in production by the end of the year.
