Introduction:

Visy Board New Zealand announces construction of a second corrugated packaging plant, to be established in the Waipa District, south of Hamilton in the Waikato Province.

Features:

Visy Board New Zealand will expand its capacity with a $100M investment on an 8.5 hectare site at Hamilton Airport, with construction having commenced in April 2017. This new, state of the art facility will deliver a significant increase in capacity and capability so that Visy Board can support the vibrant growth of their customers.

Visy Board New Zealand General Manager, Andrew Gleason says: “A growing focus on export supply chains associated with food processing, fruit and produce, meat and dairy products has provided the impetus to Visy Board New Zealand’s expansion in the New Zealand market. This advanced, new plant is designed with our customer base in mind and enables us to be local and focused, providing the best quality and cost effective corrugated packaging for our customers.”

Visy Board established a Corrugating facility in Wiri, Auckland in 1997 and have continuously grown and developed the site which is now at capacity. Visy is committed to continue investment in New Zealand with the vibrant growth in the economy requiring the accelerated establishment of an additional new plant.  In the last year Visy has invested $20M at the existing Wiri site including a corrugator upgrade, installation of a new 5 colour Gopfert Diecutter and a new Emba 245 Flexo Folder Gluer which has enhanced the capacity and quality of the existing plant.
