Univacco plans US expansion

Taiwan’s Univacco Technology has outlined its ‘aggressive’ growth strategy for North America, including a new East Coast operation and the appointment of a new general manager for its North American operations.

Univacco is an international manufacturer and supplier of foils and optoelectronic films

The East Coast operation will join an existing operation in California on the US West Coast. Univacco is to recapitalize both facilities with state-of-the-art slitting and converting equipment.

Both of these operations will be overseen by Chris Corbett, who has been appointed as general manager of Univacco’s North American operations

Univacco is an international manufacturer and supplier of foils and optoelectronic films with over 700 employees. The group consists of seven manufacturing sites and seven branches worldwide. The company occupies a market-leading position for hot stamping foils and cold foils in Asia, with strong positions in Europe and in over 60 countries worldwide.

‘This sales and distribution growth strategy aligns with our wide web coating and metalizing expansion plans for 2017 in Taiwan,’ said Univacco CEO Bruce Lee.
