Rondo Expands Capacity in Czech Republic

Rondo AG of Allschwil in Switzerland has expanded capacity at its factory in Ejpovice, in the Czech Republic, which specializes in the development and manufacture of folding boxes for the pharmaceutical industry. The company has commissioned a Bobst VisionCut CUT 106 LER die-cutter with an in-line separator. Ten new employees will be joining the team in the next few weeks in line with the expansion.
 
In 2012 the company added 6,000 square meters of production and storage space, and invested in an additional Heidelberg production line (for printing, die-cutting and gluing). Together with the two existing production lines, as many as 500 million packs have been able to be produced in the last few years. To handle even larger orders involving more than 20,000 sheets, the company has chosen an automatic die-cutting machine with a separator.  
 
In addition to the new automatic die-cutter, which will operate in three-shift mode, the investment also included another gluing line. This machine is intended to avoid bottlenecks in production and can process larger blanks, up to 110 cm in width. Also, crash lock folding boxes can be covered by the equipment.
