Alan Franz,CEO, has announced a new branding initiative to rebrand Winkler Plastic as Nuconic Packaging. The new name represents the company's recent investment in new technology, increasing capabilities in tooling and design, improved customer service and achievement of BRC Food Safety Certification.
"Becoming Nuconic Packaging is a way for us to further demonstrate the transformation that our company has made over the past year or so," Franz said. "With significant investments in thermoforming technology, tooling and design capabilities and food safety manufacturing practices, we are now able to provide our customers with so much more than ever before. Our new name also reflects our engagement in a customer-focused culture that offers outstanding service with the highest quality products."
In 2013, the addition of new machinery, including a new, state-of-the-art TSL thermoformer, tooling equipment and linear rail trim press, improved Nuconic's product quality, nearly doubled its capacity and increased the company's range of product offerings. The results are tangible - products have dramatically reduced plug lines, improved clarity and strength and smooth de-nesting for easier customer use. The new equipment also treads lightly on the environment by producing products from recycled plastics while consuming minimal energy.
This year, Nuconic earned an "A" rating on its food safety audit from BRC. The BRC Packaging and Packaging Materials Standard is a leading global brand and the first Standard in the world to be recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarking committee.
Nuconic is an amalgamation of several words core to the company's mission; new (Nu-), containers (-con-), and plastic(-ic).
