Pharmaceutical packaging specialist Brecon Pharmaceuticals will be the first company to fully automate production of Burgopak's patented sliding case.
Bosch Sigpack has developed a machine that automates the construction of Burgopak's case, which was previously constructed by hand.
Brecon was appointed as contract packer for the task and will assemble PocketPaks, which are sliding single- and double-sided blister packs that contain ibuprofen or paracetamol.
The Wye Valley-based firm will take delivery of the Bosch machine in the coming months, ready for production in spring 2008.
The four metre-wide by 18 metre-long kit produces a minimum of 150 Burgopaks per minute, which equates to a minimum of 20 million units each year.
It has been designed specifically for pharmaceuticals, but future machines will be capable of producing packs for a range of industries, including SIM cards, credit cards, cosmetics, CD and DVD packaging.
