Innovative, eco-friendly process produces corrugated board on a smaller scale without the need for steam
Monterey-based Cold Corr of Monterey (CCM) has become the first company in the United States – and just the third globally – to order Interpac’s patented cold corrugation technology.
The innovative, eco-friendly process produces corrugated board on a smaller scale without the need for steam, high temperatures or energy-intensive heating. Designed for in-house use, the system is especially well-suited for independent sheet converting plants.
“We are excited to be the first to bring cold corrugation technology to the United States. After visiting machines in operation in Germany and Canada, Cold Corr is convinced this technology will be a tremendous asset to independent converters. Having Dale and Colin here was an important first step in getting the positioning and layout of our cold corrugator right,” said Mark Jared, Director of Cold Corr of Monterey
According to a release by Cumberland Container, this milestone marks a “significant step forward” for the independent converting industry. The cold corrugation system will operate in a dedicated, independent space within the Monterey facility. While Cold Corr and Cumberland Container share the same location, they function as separate legal entities in a commercial supplier-purchaser relationship.
Interpac chief operating officer Dale Harris and Operations Manager Colin Shaw recently visited the Monterey facility to meet with Cold Corr leadership, tour the proposed installation site and begin planning for the corrugator’s layout and positioning.
“It was extremely interesting to tour the Cumberland Container facility and see the level of investment the company has made in its equipment over the past seven years. Establishing Cold Corr is a bold move — not many companies can say they are the first in the United States to bring new technology to market. Interpac is very much looking forward to manufacturing and installing their cold corrugator and getting it up and running,” said Harris.
