Rotoflex to move into bigger production facility

The new facility, also in Mississauga, is located just a few miles away, and it’s in the final stages of preparation to receive the entire Rotoflex operation. 

‘The shift resulted from the increased demand we have observed in the past couple of years. We currently have a strong order book leading to the end of the first quarter of 2021 and plans to grow our team as we increase manufacturing capacity to ensure customers will have their machines running in the pressroom when they need it,’ said Kevin Gourlay, senior vice president at Rotoflex.

The leadership has also announced that the company grew approximately 30 percent over the previous year due to strategic management decisions involving increased R&D investments to improve final product quality and accelerate lead times, eliminating outsourced production and increased customer demand.

‘Bringing manufacturing in-house is certainly one of the leading factors facilitating our growth. Being independent allows us to better control production schedules, platform standardization, aftermarket support, and even pricing. We can now create more robust machines in less time and offer them to the market at more attractive prices. Customers have noticed all these changes and are responding to it,’ added Gourlay.

In September 2020, Rotoflex launched two high-speed digital finishers: DF1, designed to improve production capacities of label converters, and VTI Series created to ensure conformity with stringent regulations of the pharmaceutical and high-security packaging industries. 

‘We have another exciting launch in the works for 2021, and we will share more details as the time comes,’ added Gourlay. ‘In the meantime, we continue to offer customized solutions and accommodate unique production needs like the one we designed for JH Bertrand earlier this year.’
