Mannok’s new €2.1m Post-Brexit Investment

Installation of the industry leading technology was completed in the second quarter of this year, after eight weeks of installation, and is now in production.

Local manufacturing company Mannok has invested a further €2.1 million in its cement bagging facilities with the acquisition of state-of-the-art technology that will double output capacity of the company’s weatherproof bagged cement product range.

The recent outlay is one of a number of key investments for Mannok to date in 2021, aligning with the company’s growth plans on both sides of the Irish Sea.

Leading German brand, Haver & Boecker were contracted to design and manufacture a new ROTO-PACKER® ADAMS® 10 spout bag filling system for packing powdery products in weatherproof bags, as well as a new automatic film reel changer, designed to run at 1,200 bags per hour.

The new machinery has been fully integrated into Mannok’s existing line in order to expand the packing capacity.

Installation of the industry leading technology was completed in the second quarter of this year, after eight weeks of installation, and is now in production.

The latest phase of investment will give Mannok the capacity to bag c50 tonnes of cement in weatherproof bags per hour. This is addition to a similar packing capacity for traditional paper bags.
