UK cartonboard and graphical board stockist Warren Board Sales has made "a significant investment" in equipment by purchasing the machinery from Reno De Medici (RDM) UK's Wednesbury plant.
Warren Board has also entered into a merchant supply agreement for both reels and sheets of RDM's Serviliner liner grade.
The Glenfield-based company is moving the former RDM machinery to a newly acquired facility in Wednesbury, from where it will be able to offer an enhanced range of services including reel-to-sheet, rewinding and guillotining, as well as additional storage capacity. The new facility will operate under the name Warren Converters.
In addition, Warren Board has acquired "a significant volume" of cartonboard stock, all of which is now available to view on its website.
Alternative supply arrangements have already been set up to ensure that existing RDM UK customers will continue to have access to Serviliner during the transfer process.
Kieran Ferguson, Warren Board's managing director, comments: "As an independent company with access to a far wider range of products than were available to RDM UK, we believe we will be able to introduce a service offering that is second to none in the industry."
This investment follows the announcement in January that Warren Board has joined the AIMS Group, the UK's largest independent merchant consortium.
