Uruguayan-based Strong, which specializes in the production of flexible packaging, has reached an agreement with Comexi to acquire a Comexi S1 DT slitter. The new slitter will be installed at the Montevideo facility. Comexi is optimistic that the new machine will allow Strong to automate more processes in the immediate future.

“For us it is very important that a company such Strong has decided to invest in a high productive machine as the Comexi S1 DT. This operation shows that this type of slitter has its place in the Latin American market,” explains José Luis Soriano, the Comexi Area Manager of this area.

Strong is a Uruguayan family business that belongs to the Macció Group. The company, based in Montevideo, has over 40 years of experience in the production of all types of flexible packaging. In its 15,000 square meter facility, Strong has state-of-the-art machinery, including the Comexi S1 DT. “As a result of its high productivity, we acquired this slitter, a machine that will offer the possibility of automating more processes,” says Gustavo Caraballo, from Strong.
