Alexir Packaging fully operational after fire
Alexir Packaging, the packaging manufacture business of Alexir Partnership, is now fully operational at its new factory in Edenbridge, Kent; just twelve weeks after fire suddenly broke out on one of the printing machines, leading ultimately to the complete destruction of its Crawley production facility. The first complete live production job to leave the new plant took place on 3rd February 2011. The 40,000 sq ft purpose built print factory is approximately 33% larger than the previous Crawley production facility. The new state of the art machinery being installed includes Fuji pre-press, Komori print, Bobst cutting and creasing and Kohmann windowing, which will minimise lead times and will give some of the best colour control and quality in print.
