Chesapeake Limerick, part of Chesapeake’s Pharmaceutical and Healthcare division, is taking delivery of Europe’s first Komori GLX 740RP carton printing press as part of a €4m investment program at the site.

Chesapeake is a supplier of cartons, labels and leaflets, and specialist plastic packaging. The seven-color Komoria machine includes a reverse printing unit and double coater and is part of a major company-wide investment that has benefited all of Chesapeake’s operations. The installation follows a six-color GLX40 Komori unit at Chesapeake’s Leicester plant shortly after the GLX models were launched at drupa last May. 

In the last three years, Chesapeake has installed a range of presses including a six-color Komori Lithrone 40’s at its Nottingham, Leicester, and Belfast operations, all of which specialize in the production of cartons for the pharmaceutical and healthcare market. During that period, the company has also made equipment upgrades and building improvements at many of its 43 manufacturing facilities in Europe, America, and Asia.
