Corrugator investment elevates operations
Manufacturing over 500msms of corrugated board each year from five corrugators means a programme of ongoing maintenance and investment is vital to maximise our operational efficiencies.
Whilst Eurocentral is home to the newest corrugator in the UK, our other four corrugators (2 at Coalville and 2 at Preston) required additional investment to replace aging parts and minimise future downtime to maximise our output through increased capacity and greater production efficiencies
Frank Hay, Group Managing Director, Board24 and Cases24 explains what investment has taken place and the positive impact it will have for customers.
