BW Flexible Systems has inaugurated its remodeled production facility-Mestrino, Italy, after a three million dollar renovation project. The facility merges operations from the former sites in Vicenza and Mestrino, consolidating the manufacturing and administrative functions into a single location. Higher efficiency, cost reduction, and improvement of cooperation among different departments and product lines are expected to result from this move. The facility serves as a common hub for iconic packaging brands, all working under the Hayssen name, thus symbolizing BW Flexible Systems' long-term focus on brand unification and global alignment.

Modernization Focused on Innovation and Sustainability

BW Flexible Systems Italy has expanded its facility, including the establishment of a new research and development unit exclusively dedicated to flexible packaging applications on vertical form-fill-seal and flow-wrapping technologies. The facility now features seven newly developed training, meeting, and client interaction rooms, with an environment designed for creativity and teamwork. Improvements in green include new roofing with better insulation, energy-efficient air conditioning systems, up-to-date windows, and eco-friendly furnishings. All these are to be integrated into the BW Packaging credo of being environmentally responsible concerning retaining a lesser carbon footprint. Facility refurbishment is typical in coincidence with recent success and readiness for a perspective time of growth for the company. This newly renovated facility would create speedy turnaround times for the customer regarding improved workflow of production and proximity of engineering, development, and support teams working together.

Supporting People and Culture

The extensive Mestrino site has undergone a complete renovation to make it state-of-the-art for workspaces from conception to execution all into employee well-being and development. This facility is part of the BW Packaging portfolio along with the sister divisions in BW Filling & Closing and BW Integrated Systems, thus providing total solutions as far as packaging is concerned in diverse industries. It acts as an embodiment of the philosophy of localized excellence and global standards whereby everything that is innovated in Italy can easily attend to both regional clients and global partners. This site also is going to be vital in BW's international supply chain, making the company quicker to respond toward meeting customers' needs across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.

Aligning with Industry Trends

BW Flexible Systems has invested well into its Italian flagship site to enable it to react to the rapid changes in the global packaging market, such as shorter lead times, more customization capability, sustainable packaging solutions, and improved research and development (R&D) capacity. Its modernized infrastructure should better enable the company to accomplish its vision of developing innovative, cost-competitive packaging solutions. The Mestrino upgrade will mark an important milestone for BW Flexible Systems because it switches from its historical role of equipment manufacturer to being a next-generation partnership in packaging technology. In addition, the new facility is expected to support future product development and launch BW Flexible Systems' European and global initiatives.
