PRESS RELEASE
Wipf AG adds manufacturing resources Volketswil, 21 June 2016: With the renewal of its machinery and the extension of the production hall, Wipf AG has decisively increased its capacity. The objective is to quickly respond to market requirements with a perceptibly greater degree of flexibility. Some 7 million Swiss francs were invested in a triplex lamination machine, a pouch-making line, and a latest-generation automatic valve assembly line. The investment represents a further milestone for the company.
Apart from the significant capacity expansion achieved with the new generation of machines, manufacturing quality improvements based on modern production technologies are decisive advantages as well. The new high-speed pouch making line for standard 100-gram pet food packaging produces about 30,000 pouches per hour more than its predecessor model. With a web width of up to 1,300 mm, the triplex lamination machine is used for the production of triplex laminates. Thanks to its modular design, the new automatic valve assembly offers advantages in processing 0 and 100 series WICOVALVEÂŽ. With the new line, the company can optimally handle the increased demand for valves, especially for coffee and dough applications. The new equipment is operated in three shifts. Given the continually growing demand for Wipf products, the long-established Swiss company has transitioned to modern manufacturing technologies by installing cutting-edge production resources while simultaneously demonstrating fresh momentum in the domain of innovation.
