Pakaflex announces move to Dandenong
1st December 2011
In January 2012 Pakaflex will move to its new headquarters and main manufacturing facility in Progress Street Dandenong—Melbourne’s heart of manufacturing. With the continued growth of the business we have simply outgrown our current Mitcham site. Progress Street will allow us to install a brand new state of the art extruder which has been specifically configured for the Australian and New Zealand market.
The move also allows us to cater for our expanding woven wrap printing
and additional packaging such as the strapping and Stinger Caps which
requires container loading and unloading as well as additional storage
room for these products and buffer stocks for our customers.
Production and the administration office will move during the Christmas
shut-down between the 22nd of December and when business at 43-45
Progress Street commences on the 10th of January 2012.
Managing Director of Pakaflex, Mr Andrew Hamer, said today that “This is a watershed moment for us, a long-term plan that will allow us to expand and develop new and innovative products for our customers. Work is well underway with the extensive fit-out of the site in preparation for the move. The Christmas timing is of course the quietest time of the year and we have gone to considerable lengths to ensure that there will be minimal impact on our deliveries during the move. The new site also has much improved security, IT and phone systems, parking and laboratory facilities aimed at assiting us to further improve our customer service and support.
