UPM opens new labelstock plant in IL
Apr 10, 2008 10:57 AM
UPM Raflatak, the Label Division of UPM-Kymmene Corp., has opened a pressure-sensitive labelstock manufacturing facility in Dixon, IL, approximately 100 miles west of Chicago.
The new $100 million (EUR 70 million) plant will produce UPM Raflatac's full range of paper and film label products, as well as the company's latest proprietary technical solutions in coating and finishing.
With end-to-end automation, the Dixon factory is touted as the most innovative labelstock production and distribution facility in the industry.
UPM Raflatac has been present in North America since the company began sales and slitting operations in Fletcher, NC, in 1985. The company further strengthened its North American product and service network by opening slitting and distribution terminals in California and Pennsylvania in 2001 and 2004, respectively. In 2005, UPM Raflatac opened its first U.S. RFID tag and inlay roduction facility in Fletcher.
This new factory is an essential part of the company’s nearly $270 million (EUR 200 million) worldwide investment program.
