We hope to be able to move into our new label manufacturing facility next Spring and work has begun on the demolition of Avtech House which currently occupies the site on Mckenzie Industrial Estate next to our current home.
Windmill have operated from McKenzie I.E. since 1990 & the plan is to house all tape production in the existing unit and bring all the label making under one roof in the new building. This means the eventual closure of our digital facility in Congleton & the merger of operations in Stockport.
The new facility occupies 15,000 sq ft and is being developed to suit our lean manufacturing model. We believe this factory will be the most modern and efficient label production facility in the UK & will help in greatly improving productivity.
In other news we have recently gained FSC certification which means we can now offer FSC approved papers across a range of substrates including self adhesive labelstock, gummed and PE coated paper. We believe that the environmental benefits will help foster growth in these markets as more and more major retailers look to source packaging products from FSC certified sources.
