GROWING TOGETHER: A LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP
The collaboration between ISHKA and SMI began about 15 years ago with the purchase of an SK300F shrinkwrapper, currently installed on production Line 1, dedicated to the packaging of 250ml, 500ml, 750ml, 1.5L and 2L bottles. In 2017, on the occasion of the opening of the SMI UK & Ireland branch based in Manchester (United Kingdom), the Sutton brothers once again turned to SMI for the expansion of their plants.
During various meetings between Paul McGovern, Director of SMI UK & Ireland, and the management of ISHKA, all the technical and commercial requirements of the new investment were thoroughly analyzed. Subsequently a series of visits by the Sutton brothers, to the SMI headquarters in Italy, led to the decision to further strengthen the partnership between the two companies for the expansion project of the Ballyneety industrial site.
