By GlobalDataThis consolidation is intended to improve customer and employee experience and make the company’s supply chain and operational flow more efficient.
It is also expected to offer opportunities to provide supplementary training and development among other benefits.
The company’s remaining employees will continue to work from its existing facilities in Illinois, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania.
Mr Curran said: “We recently began production, printing pharmaceutical folding cartons on our Bobst Expertfold 110. This week, we will start producing labels using two new HP Indigo 6K Label machines.
“Moving forward, the Pleasant Prairie facility will be home to production for all label and carton orders placed hereafter that were historically produced at our Gurnee and Waukegan facilities respectively.”
A subsidiary of Holden Industries, Nosco provides printed packaging for various sectors, including pharmaceutical, natural health and personal care applications.
The company aims to help continuously improve efficiencies in supply chains, cycle times, lean initiatives and product launches.
