Another industrial investment for the cosmetic packaging provider after it acquired wooden component manufacturer Technotraf in March 2013. Last December, Quadpack announced its will to make further investments in Spain.

Improve lead times

With the acquisition of Krampak, Quadpack intends to improve efficiencies, accelerate response times and increase flexibility for its customers. To that end, the newly acquired company will benefit from a substantial investment to upgrade its facilities over the next few months.

With this move, we are responding to the needs of the market. Our clients are increasingly demanding shorter lead times to help them react tactically to market changes. What’s more, combined with our facilities at Technotraf Wood Packaging, we will be able to offer a host of manufacturing and finishing services right here in Europe, from bespoke wooden components, through screen-printing, spray painting and, eventually, warehousing,” explains Quadpack CEO Tim Eaves.

However, despite this partial relocation of its operations, sourcing in Asia will still be an important part of what Quadpack is doing. “Technological and economical benefits continue to exist in that territory. What we are doing in Spain essentially helps overcome some of the logistical shortfalls,” Eaves continues.

Equipment upgrade

Krampak provides decoration services to the beauty industry, including screen-printing, tampography, thermal printing, digital printing and laser engraving. The integration within the Quadpack group should enable the firm to make the necessary investments to upgrade its manufacturing equipment.

At Krampak, we have always focused on providing great service and bringing the latest advances in decoration to our clients. With Quadpack’s support, we can ensure continued innovation, increase our visibility and expand our business,” highlights David Tanya, the company’s founder.

While serious investment is planned, Krampak’s operations will continue uninterrupted. A relaunch of the revamped facilities is planned for September this year.
