Accraply inaugurates a new innovation and manufacturing center in the UK

Accraply, part of Barry-Wehmiller group and leader in the design, manufacture and support of automated label-application systems, as well as converting and finishing equipment for the shrink sleeve and flexible-packaging markets announces the creation of a new innovation and manufacturing center in Irlam, Greater Manchester, UK.

The new Manchester facility brings together three well-respected British brands – Harland, Graham and Sleevit, with their associated self-adhesive and shrink sleeve labeling technologies – in one center of excellence, enabling shared innovation and manufacturing efficiencies. By summer 2020, the 46,000 square-foot facility will house engineering, manufacturing and all related support functions.

It will also act as the support hub for Accraply’s sales and service network across the EMEA region, and provide the company with a base from which to share best practices and engage with technology and supply chain partners – all with a goal of delivering exceptional value to customers. The new Manchester location complements Accraply’s global manufacturing footprint, with locations in the US and Canada, as well as service hubs across North America, the UK, Mexico, France, Germany, Italy and China.
