THAILAND – Packaging machinery manufacturer Comexi has expanded its presence in the Asia-Pacific region with the opening of a new facility in Bangkok, Thailand.
The new hub is a spare parts warehouse, including an affiliated sales team and technical services.
The opening is in line with Comexi’s strategy to reduce the distance from its customers and strengthen its position in the region.
The company has also announced plans to open more hubs in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and in Monterrey, Mexico.
Comexi’s chief transformation officer Pau Xifra said: “The opening of the Thailand hub is an important event in regard to the almost 70 years of Comexi’s history.
“It is not only the inauguration of these offices, but it represents a pivotal moment to be increasingly present in the Asia-Pacific. This is an emerging region that already has a capital weight about the world economy; we want to achieve a leading position.”
Xifra added: “Furthermore, it is a crucial milestone in the fruition of Comexi’s Vision 2030, as it aligns with the strategy of being near our customers and being able to offer them the best possible solutions and services.”
The inauguration of the offices took place on the 15th of June, coinciding with the celebration of Propak Asia.
Agustí Combis, Comexi’s Regional Sales Director in the Asia-Pacific area, acknowledges that: “We are very proud and satisfied with the accomplished work.
“We are aware of the historical importance this event represents for Comexi, as well as the opportunity that it has presently created in the entire Asia-Pacific region.”
With the opening of this hub, Comexi claims to pursue its strategic path: concentrating on customer service as well as adapting its portfolio and service to the specific needs of each market.
In October last year, Comexi unveiled Digiflex, its first digital printing solution, which uses low-migration inks to print directly onto food-safe packaging.
Digiflex supposedly facilitates double-sided printing without treatment and printing on pre-printed material.
Because it is digital, it is said to reduce set-up times and improve lead times, as well as reach a maximum speed of 220 m/min and reduce material waste.
According to Comexi, the resultant print is of high quality with a minimum code size of 8×8 mm, reaching resolutions of up to 1200×1200 dpi and achieving printing and registration consistency. It has reportedly yielded positive results in tape, ethanol, and scratch quality tests.
