RockTenn buys 100th Heidelberg VLF press
Fiber-based packaging producer RockTenn has purchased the 100th Heidelberg Very Large Format (VLF) press, which will be installed at RockTenn's Clinton, Iowa location.
In recent years, RockTenn has invested in numerous installations of the Heidelberg VLF format in both their folding carton and merchandising displays facilities.
Steve Voorhees, RockTenn chief executive officer, said: ‘Our investment in VLF presses is consistent with RockTenn's strategy to deploy high quality assets that allow us to lower our cost, improve our quality, and ultimately, to service our clients more efficiently.’
Harald Weimer, a member of the Heidelberg management board, added: ‘Relationships with a strategic industry leader and partner like RockTenn representing world-class manufacturing practices at the highest level help Heidelberg perform at its best.
‘Getting to know the RockTenn team and working closely with their plants has definitely moved our VLF product line to peak performance status.’
