New Corrugator, New Milestone: VPK Packaging Invests in Sustainable Growth of Corrugated Board Production

Print this Article | Send to Colleague

With over 90 years of experience, VPK Packaging continues to invest in the latest technologies. The new corrugator replaces the previous 2.50m machine and was installed in exactly the same location, with minimal disruption to production. Thanks to a well-thought-out plan, smart logistics, and the dedication of our employees, we were able to continue producing boxes — even during the seven-week conversion.

“This investment is not only a technical milestone but also proof of what internal collaboration can achieve, said Tony Reunes, Operations Director Corrugated Board BE & NL.

Our choice for a 2.80m wide machine aligns with our ambition for our site in Erembodegem: growing from 100 to 170 million m² of corrugated board.

What does this mean for our customers?

Our new BHS corrugator is a state-of-the-art installation that enables us to produce board with:
  • Higher quality through advanced glue temperature control
  • Less waste thanks to more efficient processes
  • Greater reliability via the integrated zero-defect system
  • Faster delivery due to increased capacity
“With this upgrade, we can respond faster, deliver better, and produce more sustainably, said Tony Reunes, Operations Director Corrugated Board BE & NL.
