In June, SupremeX, one of North America’s leading envelope and packaging manufacturers, will accelerate its expansion into the Canadian and U.S. folding carton markets with the installation of a fully-automated UV-equipped 41-inch, seven-color Koenig & Bauer Rapida 105 PRO.
“We evaluated a wide array of press manufacturers but in the end it was an easy decision to choose Koenig & Bauer,” said Stewart Emerson, President and CEO of SupremeX Inc. “Koenig & Bauer is an established leader and is celebrating its third century in business. We are confident that the addition of the Rapida 105 PRO to our current installed base of Koenig & Bauer presses will further enhance our capabilities, quality, competitiveness, and add much needed capacity. Simply put, we believe that this press is exactly what we needed and is the best of the best.”
SupremeX Folding Carton was formed by the combination of Stuart Packaging and G2 Printing. Stuart Packaging was acquired in July 2017 while G2 Printing was purchased in May 2018. Together, these two businesses brought over 80 years of expertise. Today, SupremeX Folding Carton is leveraging the capabilities and capacity of its two folding carton operations in Laval and Montreal, Canada, along with its label plant in Laval to drive cost-effective growth.
In addition to its growing folding carton business, SupremeX is among the five largest envelope manufacturers in North America and operates in the e-commerce fulfillment packaging and corrugated packaging markets. “We remain focused on accelerating our double-digit growth in folding carton, label, corrugate, and e-commerce packaging products,” said Emerson. “We strive to be a ‘Best-in-class’ folding carton manufacturer through our excellence in quality, service, flexibility and by partnering with our customers to meet their ever-changing needs. The investment in our new Koenig & Bauer Rapida 105 PRO is a testament to this goal.”
The Koenig & Bauer Rapida 105 PRO 41-inch sheetfed press will be delivered to the Montreal facility in June.
