The investment is part of Colombier's ongoing efforts to strengthen its market position, drive competitive advantage and broaden the options open to its customers. The company added that by embracing the latest technology, it can deliver superior products and services to its customers.
The investment centres on the installation of a Barry-Wehmiller (BW) Papersystems P 22-02 Cut-Size Sheeter at its strategically located facility in Zeebrugge seaport in Belgium, which serves mainland Europe and the UK.
