Investment Update: ASC Direct further extends large box capability with 3M Gluer installation

To further improve our large box manufacturing capability, we have invested and installed a new 3M gluing system. This investment in gluing technology will improve efficiency, provide greater product and design options for our customers and continue to improve the quality of our large box range.

3M is a recognised leader in adhesive technology, offering a range of glues and dispensing equipment and has a reputation for improving efficiency, product quality, and overall operational effectiveness. 3M gluers are designed for accurate and consistent adhesive application leading to faster assembly times and increased throughput and their automated dispensing capabilities improves consistency and allows for high-volume production.

David Spofforth, Operations Manager, confirmed, “We’re always looking at how we can improve our manufacturing footprint and effectiveness to provide better product options for our customers. The new 3M gluers have already improved the speed of production for our large boxes and increased the choices our customers can make for their bespoke packaging.”

Large boxes are extensively used in manufacturing where companies need to move and store machinery; furniture companies when transporting heavy items and for many other requirements where the product is large and needs the best packaging protection. 

This investment is part of an ongoing commitment to continually improve production and customer service and supports our strategic plans for investment and growth.
