Bobst rekindles the business for Alexir Packaging

Just ten weeks after fire completely destroyed Alexir Packaging’s plant at Crawley (UK), Bobst has helped the company back into production by raiding its worldwide demonstration centres for machines.  Two Bobst folder-gluers and a Bobst diecutter were taken from Switzerland and the US, and delivered in three weeks.
 
Praising staff and suppliers alike for their efforts, Alexir’s MD, Robert Davison, said: ‘We have had phenomenal support to get us up and running in the minimum time possible.’
 
Alongside the Bobst Expertfold, a Bobst Masterfold 110 folder gluer and a Bobst Expertcut 106 PE diecutter, is a Komori LSX640+C(H) six colour press supplied from the manufacturer’s demonstration facility in the Netherlands.  Other equipment supplied in short order includes a Fuji CTP system, a Kohmann window patcher, and a Heiber+Schröder tray former.
 
Stuart Taylor, Bobst Group’s area sales manager for the south of the UK said: ‘It is impressive to see the progress that Alexir Packaging has made in such a short space of time, and Bobst is delighted to have been able to help.’
