MADRID, SPAIN | Emsur Russia has invested in a new line of gravure printing as well as a Combi laminator at its St. Petersburg facility. The new machines have been installed and already up and running. Both machines stand out for offering the latest generation technology. This represents another example of Emsur's commitment to innovation and the development of new products while offering the highest quality for flexible packaging solutions.

With this investment, Emsur takes another step forward to its strategic plan to increase productivity in Eastern Europe, as well as to reduce its launch time and response to market, mainly in the dairy and beverage markets. Emsur and Eximpack became associated with the partial purchase of the company two years ago.
