FastBox Investment Program – 2023 H2
Fastbox is pleased to announce our 2023 Investment Program, aiming towards the continual improvement of products and services. The following investments have been identified as critical to the continual operation of the company and to create additional value-added services to improve our customer’s satisfaction.
- Construction of a new purpose-built CAD Studio, which will be the new home of our existing Kongsberg XL Digital Cutting Table. The new studio will also play a vital role in the improvement of our Quality & Environment objectives.
- Development of an in-house Soak Testing lab, to be contained within the CAD Studio, to provide additional services to customers such as identifying the exact grade of existing products, and for the purposes of quality testing products for customers which require this traceability.
- Construction of an additional meeting room, to enable more customers to visit the Leeds manufacturing site, meet our team and to assist in the implementation of future projects.
- A new Sodeme PAC-40 closure machine to improve turnaround times in the closure stage of the production process. This machine complements our two existing Sodeme Stitcher/Gluers, as well as the rest of our machine portfolio.
- Implementation of the SPOCS32 Shopfloor Data & S32 Planner software, to assist in the monitoring and feedback of the production process, and to provide additional avenues for operational improvements.
- Investment into the creation of an internal Consumables Management System, to monitor inventory levels of consumables such as Printing Inks, Glues, Strapping etc. Ensuring that the necessary materials are always ready for use to achieve the quick turnarounds Fastbox is known for.
With these investments, and many more to come, Fastbox is aiming to further cement its standing within the industry as a dependable supplier of just-in-time corrugated packaging, whilst providing extra value to customers and improve their packaging purchasing experience.
Speaking about the Investment Program, Fastbox’s Managing Director Jonathan Fuller said “These developments and acquisitions are both intrinsic elements of our overall development strategy. We are constantly evolving to meet customer needs and to expand into new markets “
We look forward to sharing the developments of the above over the coming months!
