Corrugated producer Cepac completes £1m expansion at Doncaster facility

Building on the £1m expansion of Cepac’s factory in Doncaster has been completed.

The project expands the independent corrugated packaging producer’s Point of Sale & Display and specialist short-run packaging facility.

In addition to providing increased factory space for increased production and fulfilment provision, the development has also seen the creation of new facilities where clients can get closer to the design process, from concept to production.

With investment in new technology (Cepac installed an HP Scitex 17000 Corrugated Press in April last year), more space was required for increased finishing, stock and shipping operations.

The expansion of the site also strengthens Cepac’s fulfilment capability and capacity.

Mark Hextall, Cepac Doncaster general manager, explained that the newly-completed expansion allows the customer and design team to work more efficiently together.

He said: “Our designers are very much part of the customer team and everything we do in POS is bespoke.

“It’s hugely beneficial to have the whole team and our customer partners working closely together to maximise a product’s potential.”

Hextall added: “Planning is happening at the same pace it always did but we’re finding that decisions are being left much later as customers need to respond rapidly to market requirements.

“Our digital offering in POS & Display and innovative short run packaging gives our clients the flexibility to be more responsive than ever before to retail needs.”
