North American injection moulding specialist SussexIM has invested more than one million dollars to expand the size of its facility and increase its production facility.
The investment enables the company to build upon the double-digit growth rate posted over the last five years, according to the company’s President, Keith Everson. “Our annual growth rate has averaged 11 percent over the last five years,” he said, “and is an exciting example of how U.S. production know-how can compete globally, against offshore providers, by delivering superior quality, innovation and return on investment.” The company increased its footprint by 12,000 square feet, to 127,000 square feet, and enlarged its workforce by 12 percent, Everson highlighted.
In addition to the increase in production, the company’s investment has also furthered its range of capabilities in inline filling. This includes micro-dosing, checkweighing and overwrapping.
“As a result, SussexIM is a more appealing, U.S.-based strategic partner for key brand owners than ever before. We are perfectly positioned for further growth,” Everson said.
Another example of the company’s initiatives that build customer brands is its recently announced alliance with Inkworks Printing LLC. The partnership represents the first commercially available combination of In-Mold Labeling (IML) and Digital Watermarking with engineered resins.
“Now, brand owners in cosmetics, personal care and household products and more have quick-turnaround access to a visually exciting and cost-efficient alternative to pad printing and hot stamping,” Everson concluded.
