Benson Group sites become ‘model’ BOBST EXPERTCUT customers

To mark the success of recent EXPERTCUT 106 PER installations at two sites belonging to leading UK packaging manufacturer Benson Group, BOBST has presented each with a detailed scale model of their new machines.

The full sized EXPERTCUT’s have been installed at Benson Group’s Bardon, Leicestershire, and Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, plants where the lines are delighting with their high performance and outstanding product quality.

Lee Appleby, Operations Manager at Benson Group, Gateshead, said "The benefits of having the EXPERTCUT in our plant have been fantastic. It has increased our running speeds dramatically, to the point where we don’t need to man our die-cutters at weekends anymore". David Midgley, Operations Manager at Benson Group, Bardon, said "The EXPERTCUT registers the cutting to the actual print on the board, instead of the sheet edge like many die-cutters. It’s perfect for jobs where we have embossing, or a critical print design, and for converting high-quality print or litho-laminated board". The investments follow a continued increase in demand for Benson Group’s die-cut products. The BOBST EXPERTCUT 106 PER delivers fully blanked and piled cartons with the in-built option of full sheet delivery. The new machines, along with the upgrade of two existing die-cutters, provide additional die-cutting capability and together have released latent print capacity at several of the Group’s plants. Craig Moran, Sales Manager for BOBST in the UK, Ireland & Scandinavia, said, "The comments from Lee and David reflect the high performance and great quality that the EXPERTCUT 106 PER delivers. It’s exactly the machine that carton makers need today and with their scale models they now have a talking point to explain to their customers how they are continuously improving end product quality".
