Dunapack Rambox, Dunapack Packaging's Romanian operations, is purchasing 11.5 ha of land on which to build for a new greenfield corrugated packaging plant in the Bucharest area, Romania. The new 22,000 sq. meter plant in Bolintin, Romania, will have a 2.8-meter- wide Fosber high-speed corrugator and several multi-color printing and die-cutting machines to provide high quality, shelf ready packaging solutions.

The annual production capacity is expected to reach 180 million sq. meters per year. The new plant will operate together with the existing Dunapack Rambox plant in Sfântu Gheorghe. The latter will increase its production capabilities by receiving a state-of-the-art corrugator upgrade combined with a new high quality printing, a flatbed-die-cutting, and a new folder-gluing machine. Both plants will reach an annual production capacity of 300 million sq. meters.

Alexander Enzenberg, managing director of Dunapack Packaging Division, said that "the new greenfield plant near Bucharest is a fantastic opportunity to strengthen Rambox's strategic market position in Romania. With two plants in the region, we are able to supply our customers with high quality packaging in combination with a unique logistics setup."

With the additional corrugated plant, Dunapack Packaging will operate two box plants in Romania. The Division will be represented in 10 countries, with 19 corrugated plants.

Dunapack Packaging is part of Austrian based Prinzhorn Group, which employs 6.300 people in 15 countries and ranks among the European market leaders in the packaging, paper, and recycling industry.
