Fibre King has completed its largest export installation to date, supplying the entire end of line packaging systems for a US$100M+ plant expansion in Asia.
The client is a US based Pharmaceutical Company, demanding the highest standards of equipment reliability, performance and quality, as is the norm for this industry. T
The project included three new packaging lines and Fibre King’s scope covered case packing (from 5 to 45 cases per minute), checkweighing, coding, palletising and interconnecting product and case conveyors and also a depalletiser for an order of over A$4M.
Fibre King carried out stringent pre-shipment testing, including a 10 day FAT with six of the client’s representatives from the USA, UK and the local Asian site.
After successful testing Fibre King shipped nine 12m containers of machinery which was installed over the last two months.
Fibre King CEO Earle Roberts said the project is great recognition of the excellence which Fibre King has obtained.
“Despite the strong Australian dollar and tight engineering and trades labour market, we have been able to secure large export orders against major European and American competition.
“We have then been able to deliver a large and complex project to the clients exacting requirements,” Roberts said.
