Produlith has acquired the most efficient folder-gluer on the market
At Produlith, innovation never stands still. After purchasing a new lithographic press a few months ago, the Boucherville-based company is building on its momentum by acquiring a Bobst Expertfold folder-gluer, which improves productivity and quality.
With this strategic addition, Produlith strengthens its position as a market leader by delivering high-quality products faster while staying true to its people-centred values.
A powerhouse of efficiency
Having recently been installed and made operational, the new folder-gluer is taking Produlith’s capabilities to new heights. Extremely versatile, it produces an impressive variety of box styles in different materials, at a rate of up to 28,000 boxes per hour – a speed of 450 metres per minute!
Productivity + health and safety
This acquisition is not merely an investment in performance. It also demonstrates Produlith’s commitment to protecting its teams. Thanks to its redesigned ergonomics and Ergosa system, the machine reduces the physical strain and repetitive movements on the operator. As Farida Belarbia, Director of Operations, points out: “This is not just a financial investment; it is also an investment in the well-being of our employees, which lies at the heart of Produlith’s philosophy.”
Greater expertise
This investment will give us greater control over the quality of our finished products, an even more comprehensive and diverse range of services, and enhanced expertise in sectors with high standards. Designed to serve demanding sectors such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and beauty, the Bobst Expertfold enables, in particular, the direct application of Braille to boxes using the Accubraille system.
A winner across the board
With the Bobst Expertfold, customers benefit from consistent quality and innovations tailored to their market’s specific needs.
For their part, employees will benefit from a safer, more ergonomic work environment, where physical strain and the risk of injury are reduced the result: increased productivity, a rapid return on investment, and a motivated team.
This second major investment in just a few months is not an end in itself, but a step towards an ever more innovative and people-focused Produlith!
