The new site of Constantia Copenhagen in Ishøj, Denmark
Constantia Copenhagen – part of flexible packaging producer Constantia Flexibles – opened its new production site at the end of March 2021. The new plant will triple the company’s capacity and support further growth in the Scandinavian market.
The new site of the company in Ishøj, Denmark, is enabled with a fully automated production process which improves flexibility. In addition, the warehouse is now fully integrated within the site to allow further growth. The fully automated production site of Copenhagen covers a total area of 6,000m², where the flexible packaging producer can integrate more processes and products to expand its business.
Constantia packaging solutions meet the highest level of sustainability
The new location uses a number of robotics technologies and a further increased level of hygiene measures. Furthermore, the packaging solutions produced at the company meet the highest sustainability standards. For example, the more sustainable packaging family Ecolutions. In addition, to meet Constantia Flexibles’ strict demands for sustainable production, the site is entirely powered by green electricity.
Pim Vervaat, CEO of Constantia Flexibles, states: “Expanding our consumer business in Europe is a key part of our company’s strategy. It is here where we want to grow further and expand. The investment into Copenhagen and the Scandinavian market is a vital step in this growth journey. With more than eight million euros of investment, we have built a state-of-the-art facility that will serve our customers more efficiently with sustainable die-cut lid products in the dairy market.”
“Moreover, tripling our capacity through the enlargement of the site and the integrated warehouse ensures the best foundations for future growth and success. We are putting in place the highest health and safety standards for our employees, which remain our highest priority and asset,” he added.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
