ZARAGOZA, Spain, Aug. 25, 2017 (Press Release) -SAICA Pack has continued to invest in its ground-breaking Green Room with new technology to provide customers with greater quality and efficiency in printing and design.

The packaging leaders have added a Mimaki digital print table and a Kongsberg sample cutting table to their arsenal, bringing greater accuracy and speed to the printing process. This technology enables SAICA Pack’s National Development Centre and Creative teams to provide the best quality services and samples for customers and an overall improvement to speed and quality.

The new technology provides SAICA Pack with the capability to now offer digitally printed sample packaging with white ink, spot varnish and representation of embossed areas. This means that customers can view the most realistic and quality samples during the new product development and sign-off stages of the design process.

This technology is the latest enhancement to SAICA Pack’s market-leading Green Room, part of a network of facilities being commissioned across the UK – Wigan and Thatcham being the two which have come on line in the last year, at the company’s National Development Centre in its state-of-the-art PM-11 facility in Greater Manchester. The Green Room plays host to an innovative workshop style environment where customers can bring ideas to life alongside the design expertise of SAICA Pack’s Creative team and leave with a fully printed prototype sample; all within one day.

The Green Room speeds up the route to market by removing the need to go back and forth to approve and amend design changes, and the new Mimaki and Kongsberg printing technology improves the level of print capabilities removing the need for multiple design revisions.

Stuart Simm, National Development Centre Manager at Saica Pack, said:

“Since its opening, the Green Room has really transformed the way we design packaging, working together with customers and involving them in the process from beginning to end. The industry is always changing and we know that we have to move with it if we are to continue to offer our customers the very best in quality and design.

“This investment in new printing technology allows us to do just that and really moves our offering at the National Development Centre forward. The printed samples that we can now produce are as realistic as they can possibly be; catering for designs using white ink, spot varnish and embossed areas. We are really excited to share this quality with our customers and look forward to investing further in our Green Room.”

MANCHESTER, UK, April 5, 2017 (Press Release) -SAICA Pack has helped to promote the new Common Footprint Quality (CFQ) standard for produce trays in a move that will provide consistency in packaging across Europe.

SAICA Pack UK was one of a handful of companies to work alongside the Confederation of Paper Industries (CPI) on the introduction of the CFQ standard in the UK. The accreditation lays down criteria for produce trays based on strength, size, shape and stackability.

As one of only two packaging companies to have a fresh produce division in the UK, this accreditation brings yet more value to SAICA Pack’s customers, offering them the option of ordering CFQ accredited boxes for their products.

SAICA Pack are one of the largest fresh produce tray producers in the UK, and the CFQ accreditation offers customers an additional assurance of quality that is validated both internally and independently within atmosphere conditioned laboratories to ensure the correct level of performance is given. An independent auditor will also visit CFQ manufacturing sites twice yearly to carry out an audit on processes and protocol.

Once these tests have been carried out, this quality assurance is sealed with a CFQ accredited logo stamped onto the trays, ensuring that the box is fit for purpose.

Richard Knight, Fresh Pack UK & Ireland Market Manager, SAICA Pack, said:

“Here at SAICA we are extremely proud that our CFQ boxes all passed the tests and are now fully accredited and available.

SAICA Pack is very proud to be a key driver of the CFQ project and being fully accredited means we can now offer CFQ boxes, providing an extra assurance of quality to our customers.”

Andy Barnetson, Director of Packaging Affairs at CPI, said:

“The new CFQ standard will further improve the efficiency of the fresh produce supply chain and it demonstrates that the UK Corrugated Industry is constantly striving to provide the best possible packaging solutions for customers.

We are very pleased that Saica Pack is investing in this important new development.”

GLOUCHESTER, UK , March 14, 2017 (Press Release) -SAICA Paper, a leader in the manufacturing of paper for corrugated cardboard, has extended its contract with transport and logistics specialist CM Downton for another year. This latest agreement builds on a relationship that started when SAICA Paper opened its new Paper Mill at Partington, Manchester in early 2012.

As one of SAICA Paper’s main transport service providers, Downton handles deliveries of baled recycled paper from sources across the UK into Partington and delivers finished paper reels to SAICA Paper’s customers in the UK packaging industry. In addition to managing these in-bound and out-bound transport flows, Downton provides on-site shunting services and maintains an on-site management function to liaise with the manufacturer.

Transporting bales of recycled paper along with large and heavy paper reels presents a number of challenges. Downton has worked closely with SAICA Paper and the wider industry to ensure that they are able to meet and exceed regulations and requirements around load security through effective trailer design, incorporating non-slip floors, load bearing curtains, load security systems and not least an extensive driver training programme.

In addition to SAICA Paper, Downton provides transport services to sister businesses SAICA Pack and SAICA Natur under separate contracts. This has allowed the company to introduce an integrated approach that supports the needs of each business while offering transport synergies, efficiencies and cost savings.

David Hutchings, Head of Business Development at CM Downton, said: “The strong relationship we have built with SAICA Paper over the past five years meant that on this occasion we were able to extend the contract without the normal benchmarking or tender process. We know SAICA, their market and their customers and this, together with our wide-ranging paper industry experience, allowed us to implement an efficient and flexible solution to their requirement.”

LUXEMBOURG, Jan. 19, 2017 (Press Release) -The European Investment Bank (EIB) will finance SAICA's investment in new technologies to improve two of the production lines at its factory producing paper for corrugated cardboard in El Burgo de Ebro, Zaragoza. EIB Vice-President Román Escolano and SAICA Chairman Ramón Alejandro today signed a EUR 70m loan under the Investment Plan for Europe at a ceremony in Zaragoza. The aim of this loan is to help the company to implement new sustainable production processes geared towards the circular economy.

SAICA is a family business that has been working to produce paper and corrugated cardboard packaging for the last 70 years. It is the leading Spanish company for this activity and is also one of the biggest players in its sector in countries such as France and the United Kingdom. The loan signed today with the EIB will enable it to use the latest technology to make its production processes greener and more efficient, recycling resources more effectively and preventing them from being sent to landfill.

In concrete terms, the investment in the El Burgo de Ebro plant will make it possible to produce a new variety of paper with similar mechanical properties and appearance to that made using virgin pulp (kraftliner). The EIB financing will also enable the Aragon-based business to invest in innovative technologies and processes to develop a new range of white papers for high quality printing.

In this way, the EIB financing will help ensure SAICA's competitiveness by reducing costs and diversifying both its raw materials and its product range. Via the Investment Plan for Europe, the company will also benefit from financing on favourable terms and will be able to shorten the project implementation times. The EIB loan will have a positive effect on job creation in Zaragoza, generating 570 jobs during the implementation phase over the first two years and another 118 permanent positions.

At the signing ceremony, EIB Vice-President Román Escolano stated: “The loan signed in Zaragoza will enable SAICA to carry out the investments needed to manufacture its products more efficiently and competitively. With more than 9 000 employees, SAICA is one of the largest employers in Aragon. The EIB financing will help to develop this Zaragoza-based company's future via technological innovation and the use of production systems that manage resources in a more sustainable and efficient manner.”

European Commission Vice-President for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness Jyrki Katainen said: “The modernisation of production lines to promote sustainable industrial production requires investment. This is where the Investment Plan for Europe can play a key role. I am sure that the loan agreement signed today with the backing of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) will enable SAICA, a family business, to invest in the latest technologies, manufacture its products sustainably and create new jobs.”

For his part, SAICA Chairman Ramón Alejandro stated that: “at SAICA, innovation, development and research regarding new products and processes are what make us stand out from the competition. The loan signed today with the EIB will help us to continue pushing innovation as the key component of our commitment to making the company sustainable in the future.”

ZARAGOZA, Spain, Sept. 16, 2016 (Press Release) -SAICA Pack has won Gold at the prestigious industry awards ceremony for their Jammie Dodgers front-facing display for Burtons Biscuits.

The award recognises SAICA Pack’s proactive approach to the display design which is supplied as a one-piece to meet Burtons’ packaging requirements.

The key issue was the need for the product to remain flat during transportation, allowing time for the jam filling to set.

Delivering added punch on the shelf, two side pillars were included in the design. This prevents the biscuit packs falling forwards and removes the need for a front lip which would have obscured the bottom layer.

Not only meeting the key objectives, the pack can also be erected on new automated case erecting and filling equipment that Burtons have heavily invested in.

In addition to the Gold award, SAICA Pack has also won Bronze for their Cafepod and Tesco Flowers packaging designs at the Starpack Awards.

Commenting on the awards, David Wilbraham, Sales Director UK and Ireland, SAICA Pack said:

“The packaging industry is fast moving and hugely competitive. Therefore Burtons needs its suppliers not only to deliver great service, but also to be creative and inventive.

We are delighted to receive Gold and Bronze awards from Starpack which follow another sterling year of growth, investment and innovation at Saica.”
