Smurfit Kappa Zedek upgrades production line with safety services from OMRON

A complete one-stop solution from OMRON ensures upgrading the safety of a folder-gluer machine. Smurfit Kappa Zedek’s manufacturing operations are based in Deventer, the Netherlands. The company, which was founded 60 years ago, specialises in the design and production of corrugated cardboard packaging and point-of-sale displays.
