DS Smith has invested €10 million (US$10.5 million) to install a Bahmuller and Goepfert Maschinen (BGM) combination machine and upgraded production line facilities at its packaging facility in Kunheim, France. The new BGM machinery is anticipated to boost production speeds and enable DS Smith to respond to customer requests within shorter timescales. This will benefit customers who need large-format triple-flute packaging solutions for heavy and bulky products in categories such as household appliances, chemical transportation and building materials for the construction industry. Thibault Laumonier, president at DS Smith Packaging in France, says: “The inauguration of this BGM unit into our packaging facility in Kunheim bolsters our ability to provide leading, fiber-based packaging solutions.”
