Plastic Bottle Factory

Overview

Logoplaste is a world-leading provider of rigid plastic packaging, operating out of 63 facilities worldwide. Logoplaste recently relocated an entire factory 200 miles north to better support a client in Scotland.

The Kellwood Group's Electrical and LED divisions were instrumental electrical subcontractors in the £ 1.SM project.

Challenges

Existing manufacturing lines had to be removed and reinstalled with minimum disruption to overall production. Time management was mission critical because the repercussions of delays would be extremely costly for the both our clients budgeting and our own professional pride.

Solution

Multiple in-house skills were applied to this project. After commercial and industrial cable management, existing electrical infrastructure was upgraded (including power factor correction). Standard and emergency lighting, fibre-optic data systems, and plant machinery was all installed.

The results

"Logoplaste undertook the logistical challenge of relocating our factory-infrastructure so we could better provide for one major client in the local area.

If my contract team didn't meet schedule in completing projects, the knock-on effects for production would have been devastating. I hold contractors to high standards and I asked for the following during Kellwood's extended time on site: professionalism, efficiency, and value.

I also expect good humour, when problems inevitably arise and a flexible, common-sense attitude in response. No-one will ever say this is something their company offers during the tender but for me it makes all the difference! Contractors who can fully integrate with Logoplaste staff, either by assisting with issues not necessarily within their remit or through asking for helped when they need it instead of staying quiet, make my going to work a pleasure instead of a chore!

Kellwood's work ethic 'on the ground' showed the kind of commitment to meeting cost and time targets the value of which cannot always be measured. I'm more than pleased with the guys. I'd recommend them to anyone"
