ePac Europe announces expansion and technology investments

ePac Flexible Packaging has confirmed major expansion and technology investments across its European network. Significant upgrades are underway at ePac facilities in Lyon, Innsbruck, Silverstone, and Poland.  

These series of strategic investments focused on expanding production capabilities, improving operational efficiency and supporting rising customer demand for sustainable, digitally printed flexible packaging contribute to its strong growth across Europe. These initiatives reinforce ePac’s commitment to delivering fast, flexible, and high-quality packaging to brands of all sizes. 

In Lyon, the site has expanded its manufacturing footprint and added a new external on-site warehouse to improve material flow and operational efficiency. New technology installations include an HP Indigo 200K digital press and a Totani pouch converting line, alongside increased staffing to support continued growth. 

At the Innsbruck facility, ePac is executing a major scale-up designed to accelerate both digital print output and pouch production. Planned investments include the installation of an HP Indigo 200K digital press, followed by the addition of multiple Totani pouch converting lines. The site is also expanding its specialized team to support enhanced production capabilities and technical expertise. 

In the United Kingdom, ePac’s Silverstone operation is responding to growing demand for pouches and rollstock by expanding its converting output with the addition of a new Totani pouch line. Increased operational headcount will support higher throughput while maintaining the speed, quality, and reliability customers expect. 

Meanwhile, ePac Poland is expanding its lamination and converting capabilities to support customers across Central and Eastern Europe. The site is installing a Karlville Laminator, enabling both thermal and solventless lamination. This investment broadens the facility’s product offering and enhances its ability to deliver high-performance packaging supported by advanced lamination technologies. 

Together, these investments strengthen ePac’s European manufacturing network, enabling faster lead times, greater flexibility, and improved responsiveness to customer needs. They also reinforce the sustainability advantages of digital printing, including reduced material waste and the elimination of minimum order requirements.  

‘Our focus is on delivering the best possible experience for our customers,’ said John Peat, group vice president – operations. ‘By expanding our operations and deploying the latest digital technologies, we’re ensuring our sites across Europe continue to operate with speed, efficiency, and reliability.’
