Flint Group opens new facility in Turkey for its Packaging Division

Flint Group continues its leadership position in the Packaging Inks segment with the opening of its new facility in the cosmopolitan district of Beylikduzu, in Istanbul, Turkey.  This new 3800 square meter manufacturing and distribution facility is conveniently located only 13 kilometers from the main container terminal on the European side of Turkey and is well positioned for exports to surrounding markets in the Middle East.

Kim Melander, VP Sales EMEA & Global Strategy Paper & Board, says this, “Flint Group’s Paper & Board business has been a local supplier in Turkey and the neighbouring regions since 2008 and our team has been satisfying customers’ requirements with state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and expert local service for nearly 10 years.  This additional investment not only solidifies Flint Group’s dedication to the Turkish market, but also confirms our promise to grow together with its customers in this key emerging market.”

Krzysztof Struszczak, Operations Director Packaging Inks Eastern Europe adds, “The acquisition of this new facility was initially, and strategically, planned for Flint Group’s water-based Paper & Board business segment.  However, it soon became clear that we should combine with other key segments supplying all needs of the Packaging market from this one location.  Today, Flint Group’s Narrow Web, Sheetfed, and Digital Solutions (Xeikon) businesses have joined Paper & Board in this single facility.”

Mr. Melander continues, “Flint Group’s aim is, of course, to provide the best and most streamlined service and support to all customers. Many of our key customers purchase products from more than one of our segments.  With this expansion in Istanbul, we now have the ability to satisfy the requirements of multiple aspects of our customers’ businesses under one roof, providing a unique ability to focus on key markets, but also share our knowledge across the full range of the package printing business.”

Atlantic Packaging Installs Wide Format Printer and Die Cutter

Atlantic Printing & Graphics has a legacy of meeting our customers needs and growing right alongside them. As our customers’ product lines gain in popularity, we’ve been able to expand our capacity to stay right in step with them. Our latest example of this commitment is the installation of new KBA Wide Format Printer and Bobst Die Cutter. We’ve always operated on a traditional printing press format – 28 x 40 – but we saw an opportunity this past year to branch out and enter new markets. With the KBA 6 color printer, we can print 47.25 x 63.50. This is significantly larger and gives us a whole new capacity and output. We installed the Bobst Die Cutter to support the materials we’re creating on the KBA printer. These pieces of equipment together are incredible and put Atlantic Printing & Graphics in a whole new playing field. We are set up to service and support our current and new large customers with their needs for printing, folding cartons, and much more.
