GIRONA, Spain—Comexi, a specialist in solutions for the flexible packaging printing and converting industry, and Socipack, a leading company in the Ivory Coast’s flexible packaging field, have extended their strategic partnership with the acquisition by the African company of a Comexi S2 DS. It will be installed at the company’s headquarters located in Abidjan.
The relationship between the two companies dates back to 2016 when Socipack purchased its first Comexi machines. Today, it has two Comexi presses, three Comexi laminators and two Comexi slitters. The new Comexi S2 DS will be the company’s third slitter and the eighth Comexi machine.
Socipack, Société Ivorienne de Packaging, is a company specializing in flexible packaging, labeling, sleeves, multilayer extrusion and stretch film. It exports finished products to the African market, and also imports incoming raw materials for the manufacturing of plastic labels and packaging. As a result of the company’s Comexi machine purchases, Socipack has become one of the fastest growing companies in the African flexible packaging and food packaging sectors.
Comexi’s area manager of this region, Miquel Gironès, is very satisfied with the business relationship between the two companies because Socipack had confidence in Comexi to enter the flexible packaging sector. “They have depended on us from the beginning. With the help of Comexi, they have become one of the most important companies in this sector.” Gironès also added that through its general partnership with Comexi, Socipack “has been advised by us regarding the purchase of the necessary machinery.”
Through Comexi’s technologies, Socipack has increased its productivity and capabilities, producing a wider range of products and applications, thus strengthening its position as a leading company in the African flexible packaging market.
Comexi is represented in the Ivory Coast by BLG International, which is based in Marseille as well as Abidjan. BLG’s sales manager, Aleix Mas, said, “Socipack is the key player in the region, a young and dynamic company capable of providing films, packaging, and labels with the highest quality standards.”
The Comexi S2 DS slitter is a compact and fully electric machine with an ergonomic design. It permits adjustments and maneuvers the slitting after the material has proceeded. The NIP system, which separates tensions, enables the machine to use various tensions while rewinding and unwinding. Quality and quantity are not incompatible with the Comexi S2 DS, due to the high productivity which is achieved by acceleration ratios. All of this is accomplished through reaching top speed at a quick rate. Operation with this slitter is straightforward and intuitive, due to tools such as the PC Touch-Panel, which is used to set the pace of the machine, and store production data.
