Parkside Flexibles Group is opening its new world-class facility in early 2010 located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Parkside believes the time is right to bring high quality print and lamination to Asia and the new production unit will be equipped with state of the art print, lamination and finishing equipment. The company has chosen to install exclusively flexographic printing machinery through 2010 for its unparalleled flexibility, speed-to-market and cost efficiency.
Parkside’s investment in innovation has enabled them to develop the Flexo process, a method that closes the quality gap on traditional gravure printing. Parkside call it Extreme Flexo and it allows the company to deliver more dots per inch, to print vignettes and to produce sharper illustrations than ever before.
As a result, many customers are moving designs from gravure to Flexo to benefit from the lower plate costs and faster response times which are essential for today’s market.
The new Kuala Lumpur facility will further expand Parkside’s position at the cutting edge of the tobacco packaging industry, supplying some of the largest tobacco manufacturing companies in all global regions.
The Parkside portfolio includes metalized cigar wrap, printed PP pack wrap (shrinkable and non-shrinkable), inner and outer bundle wrap and RYO pouches. The ability to print up to 10 colors on film and paper, combined with Parkside’s lamination expertise, can produce specifications that meet the most demanding quality criteria for barrier and functionality.
Parkside prides itself in working with all customers as a fully transparent, proactive partner. The company provides a full ‘brief to shelf’ print management service with technical support, fast, efficient and friendly customer service, coupled with extremely high service levels.
Parkside operates a total supply-chain management system to ensure every step of the production process meets the required standard. The company is AIB, BRC/IOP and ISO9001 accredited.
New business secured in Asia together with the new production unit in Kuala Lumpur positions Parkside to double the size of its business during 2010.
Parkside is an innovative, forward thinking flexographic printing and specialized laminating company that has been supplying high-quality, bespoke packaging solutions to the tobacco industry for more than 40 years. In that time, the company, and their product range, has grown from a small UK-only specialist to a global authority offering a broad selection of products and services. In fact, in 2009 Parkside was published in "who’s who" as one of the top 1% of fastest growing UK companies.
Parkside is an entrepreneurial, profitable group with a global presence: manufacturing sites and sales and development offices are located in both Europe and Asia.
