Significant growth to a record £21 million turnover after just five years in business has encouraged UK-based box manufacturer Diamond Box to invest £3 million in new machinery for its site in West Bromwich.
The new equipment will enable the company to increase its casemaking capacities by 50%, ensuring sufficient room to comfortably accommodate peak demand during the Christmas period. The new machines will also help to improve lead times for customers and speed up turnover for conventional work.
One of the new additions is a 5-colour Bobst High Quality Printer, which will also help the company to break into new markets, especially high quality postprint and value-added. A Latitude Case Maker is also due to be installed over the summer.
Diamond Box, which already carries the ISO 9001:2008 quality standard and FSC accreditation, is currently in the process of attaining BRC accreditation which will assist the firm in breaking into new markets.
Kavi Jundu, the company's CEO, comments: "The plan is to have an infrastructure in place to realise our next sales target of £30 million".
