Ivory Coast flexible packaging company Socipack makes further investment in Comexi

The Ivory Coast company has purchased a Comexi F2 MB flexo press, Dual laminator and S2 DT slitter, which have already been installed at its headquarters in Abidjan. With this, Socipack has sought to increase its productivity and capabilities, with the ability to produce a wider range of products and applications.

Socipack managing director Abdallah Hassan said: ‘This deal has enhanced our productivity and brought to the light new range of products in the African market as the demand growth has evolved.’

These new investments represent Socipack’s second Comexi press, second laminator and second slitter, having purchased its first F2 MB flexo press, an SL2 laminator and an S2 DS slitter earlier last year. Comexi said that by adding this latest hardware, Socipack has reinforced its position in the Ivory Coast and the whole African market as, ‘one of the fastest growing companies in the flexible packaging and food packaging sector’.

Miquel Gironès, Comexi area manager for Africa, said: ‘We are sure that this new innovative equipment will accompany this leading company in its growth plans.’

Gironès said this trade agreement is an example of the growing presence of Comexi in this region, and said: ‘Ivory Coast is a country in a phase of rapid expansion and has possibilities to become the hub of West Africa.’

Technicians from Socipack were trained at the Manel Xifra Boada Technological Centre in order improve even more their efficiency and productivity.

‘We are grateful to Comexi for the level of high technical level, their service and quick delivery, added Hassan. ‘We insist to bring to this part of the world the best quality and, above all, offer the most innovative and the best solutions to our customers.’
