Charpak Future Investment

August 2014 Charpak has invested significant sums in new machinery during 2014. This is in addition to the major investment in 2013. New Kiefel MachineIn June Charpak took delivery of its latest Kiefel machine to compliment the KMD60 and KMV75 already in place. Paul Smith Managing Director says “As we have grown and increasingly won new business the Kiefel KMD64 fits the bill to drive the business forward.” The increased efficiencies from the Kiefel KMD64 has helped Charpak to win major new accounts including ichiban UK for Tesco Sushi packaging. In addition Charpak have just collaborated with another of its major customers to help automate its production lines. The Kiefel machines and Charpak’s innovative designs have allowed the customer to achieve significant throughput improvements on their lines. New Illig MachineIn a further sign of the growth shown during 2013/14 Charpak also took delivery of a new Illig machine in July, taking their investment to over £600k for the year to date. Charpak decided to invest in an Illig RV53D. Paul Smith, MD said “historically we have always used Illigs as they suit our business needs and the addition of the RV53D will allow us to move the business forward by utilising the extra capabilities of the machine.” The Illig machine is in addition to the mix of Illigs currently onsite which include RDKP pressure formers. Paul Smith says “The mix of machines we have now allow Charpak to plan for the future knowing that in conjunction with our design capabilities we will continue to offer the most innovative products that are on the market today.”
