Faller Packaging is set to begin folding carton manufacturing at its new facility in Horsens, Denmark, by late 2025.
This move follows a project declaration made in April 2023 regarding the creation of an additional production site for the Nordic market.
The company noted that its new plant is designed to meet the rising demand for pharmaceutical packaging.
It will serve as a complement to the existing facility in Hvidovre, Denmark, and aims to enhance production capabilities in line with market requirements.
With the introduction of this site, Faller Packaging intends to increase total capacity in Denmark to around 900 million units each year.
The Horsens facility is projected to produce up to 600 million folding cartons annually, significantly contributing to the company’s overall output.
The choice to open a second production site is in line with Faller Packaging’s expansion strategy for its folding carton division.
The company has already secured and extensively refurbished a 5,700m² building complex in Horsens.
Production at the new facility will be implemented in stages, with future staff receiving thorough training at the Hvidovre site.
This strategy aims to ensure a seamless transition and operational effectiveness.
A significant advantage of the Horsens plant is the utilisation of modern full-format printing presses, which enable a greater output per sheet compared to the previously used half-format technology.
This improvement is expected to boost production efficiency.
While the Horsens site will concentrate solely on manufacturing, administrative operations will continue at the Hvidovre facility.
The two plants will work in close collaboration, with Hvidovre overseeing new customer projects and producing both special and standard folding cartons.
The establishment of the second production site is expected to offer considerable benefits for local pharmaceutical manufacturers and international companies in the area.
Faller Packaging aims to enhance delivery times, logistical flexibility, and overall service quality.
Faller Packaging managing director Christian Holmskov said: “The new factory is lean and combines efficiency and quality. This not only allows us to significantly increase capacity, but also strengthens our customer service on site.
“What’s more, we are present here in an area that offers good conditions for further growth thanks to a strong industrial environment.”
In February 2024, Faller Packaging introduced a new fully recyclable tamper-evident label.
