Reelex Packaging Solutions has added a new wing to
its facility devoted to research and development of the
Reelex® packaging system.
“Tangle-free packaging has benefits for thousands of
products beyond just LAN and coaxial cable, and this new
wing illustrates our enthusiasm for creating complete
packaging solutions for those products,” said Frank Kotzur,
Reelex’s VP of research and development.
“With this new facility, we will be developing our packaging
technology for a wider range of products including fibre
optics, steel cable, building wire and more.”
The new facility features a full machine shop for creating
unique on-demand parts as well as a state of the art 3D
printing machine for fabricating rapid prototypes.
“Because we are the only company developing the
Reelex package, we must have the ability to try new
designs and adapt our technology to the unique
characteristics of various products in a rapid manner,”
Mr Kotzur said. “We are positioning ourselves to meet as
many packaging demands as possible.”
