With effect from September 2020, BHS Corrugated has taken over all shares of Universal Corrugated B.V. from Minda Industrieanlagen GmbH. Uwe Leopold, the former Universal plant manager, has been appointed as the new Managing Director.
With the Unifold continuous stacker, Universal has developed excellent know-how in customer-specific solutions and a strong position in the Fanfold market, which allows both parties independently of each other to optimally develop this growing market segment in the future and to set individual priorities.
Together with the active participation of the experienced management team, almost 40 employees at the factory in Almelo, Netherlands, will be primarily involved in the ongoing development, installation, commissioning and service of fanfold systems. They will also be looking at considering special solutions for stacking of corrugated board and Honeycomb units.
