Faller Packaging to begin folding carton manufacturing in Horsens, Denmark
Faller Packaging is set to begin folding carton manufacturing at its new facility in Horsens, Denmark, by late 2025.
This move follows a project declaration made in April 2023 regarding the creation of an additional production site for the Nordic market.
The company noted that its new plant is designed to meet the rising demand for pharmaceutical packaging.
It will serve as a complement to the existing facility in Hvidovre, Denmark, and aims to enhance production capabilities in line with market requirements.
With the introduction of this site, Faller Packaging intends to increase total capacity in Denmark to around 900 million units each year.
The Horsens facility is projected to produce up to 600 million folding cartons annually, significantly contributing to the company's overall output.
The choice to open a second production site is in line with Faller Packaging's expansion strategy for its folding carton division.
The company has already secured and extensively refurbished a 5,700m² building complex in Horsens.
Production at the new facility will be implemented in stages, with future staff receiving thorough training at the Hvidovre site.
This strategy aims to ensure a seamless transition and operational effectiveness.
A significant advantage of the Horsens plant is the utilisation of modern full-format printing presses, which enable a greater output per sheet compared to the previously used half-format technology.
This improvement is expected to boost production efficiency.
While the Horsens site will concentrate solely on manufacturing, administrative operations will continue at the Hvidovre facility.
The two plants will work in close collaboration, with Hvidovre overseeing new customer projects and producing both special and standard folding cartons.
The establishment of the second production site is expected to offer considerable benefits for local pharmaceutical manufacturers and international companies in the area.
Faller Packaging aims to enhance delivery times, logistical flexibility, and overall service quality.
Faller Packaging managing director Christian Holmskov said: 'The new factory is lean and combines efficiency and quality. This not only allows us to significantly increase capacity, but also strengthens our customer service on site.
'What's more, we are present here in an area that offers good conditions for further growth thanks to a strong industrial environment.'
In February 2024, Faller Packaging introduced a new fully recyclable tamper-evident label.

Fox Business Host Presses Trump's Labor Secretary: How Come We're Losing Manufacturing Jobs When There's A Big Push To Bring Them To The U.S.
Despite President Donald Trump's frequent promises to boost manufacturing in America, recent job figures show troubling declines. In a recent Fox Business segment, host Stuart Varney pressed Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer over the loss of 8,000 manufacturing jobs in May, asking directly, 'How come we're losing 8,000 manufacturing jobs in May when there's a big push to bring manufacturing jobs back to America?' Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Many are rushing to Chavez-DeRemer pointed out general improvements in the economy, saying, 'We're certainly holding steady, and under the Trump administration, manufacturing jobs are still up over what the last administration, under Biden, had.' She emphasized ongoing efforts to expand the sector through construction and healthcare employment, alongside new manufacturing plants. Yet, she admitted, 'It will take some time.' Varney challenged Chavez-DeRemer repeatedly, pointing out the contradiction between the administration's push to revive manufacturing and the actual job losses reported. Chavez-DeRemer attributed the setbacks partially to the transitional effects of Trump's tariff policies aimed at leveling the playing field internationally. 'The president has done a wonderful job in negotiating the level playing field,' Chavez-DeRemer argued. 'We're seeing tens of trillions of dollars being reinvested here in the United States, and I'll continue to focus on that skilled workforce as those manufacturing jobs continue to grow.' Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. Despite Chavez-DeRemer's assurances, industry figures reflect broader concerns. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employers added only 139,000 jobs overall in May, marking a noticeable slowdown. Factory managers have expressed unease about Trump's tariffs in the Institute for Supply Management's May survey, describing them as a significant burden for manufacturing businesses, with one manager noting that the current 'chaos does not bode well for anyone.' Recent economic reports support this caution, highlighting the significant role manufacturing plays in the U.S. economy. As of late 2024, manufacturing contributed almost $3 trillion to the economy and supported millions of jobs directly and indirectly. Yet, despite these promising figures, the manufacturing sector continues to shed automation and artificial intelligence rapidly transforming the job landscape, Varney asked Chavez-DeRemer about predictions that AI could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years. Chavez-DeRemer downplayed the threat, saying, 'I believe that we're going to streamline and we're going to assist the American worker. Things are changing at a rapid pace, but AI is not going anywhere.' She added that the administration is proactively training workers for this shift, dedicating 10% of apprenticeship grants to AI training. For now, manufacturing in the U.S. faces significant headwinds, caught between political promises, economic pressures, and a rapidly evolving workforce landscape.

First direct flight from US to Greenland since 2008 lands on Trump's birthday
NUUK, Greenland (AP) — The first direct flight from the U.S. to Greenland by an American airline landed in the capital city of Nuuk on Saturday. The United Airlines-operated Boeing 737 Max 8 departed from Newark International Airport in New Jersey at 11:31 a.m. EDT (1531 GMT) and arrived a little over 4 hours later, at 6:39 p.m. local time (1939 GMT), according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware. A seat cost roughly $1,200. Saturday's flight marks the first direct passage between the U.S. and the Arctic Island for nearly 20 years. In 2007, Air Greenland launched a route between Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Kangerlussuaq Airport, some 315 kilometers (196 miles) north of Nuuk. It was scrapped the following year due to cost. The United Airlines flight took place on U.S. President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, which was being celebrated in Washington with a controversial military parade that's part of the Army's long-planned 250th anniversary celebration. Trump has repeatedly said he seeks control of Greenland, a strategic Arctic island that's a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, and has not ruled out military force. The governments of Denmark, a NATO ally, and Greenland have said it is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. stepping up intelligence gathering on the mineral-rich island. United announced the flight in October, before Trump was re-elected. It was scheduled for 2025 to take advantage of the new Nuuk airport, which opened in late November and features a larger runway for bigger jets. 'United will be the only carrier to connect the U.S. directly to Nuuk — the northernmost capital in the world, providing a gateway to world-class hiking and fascinating wildlife under the summer's midnight sun,' the company said in a statement at the time. Saturday's flight kicked off the airline's twice weekly seasonal service, from June to September, between Newark and Nuuk. The plane has around 165 seats. Previously, travelers had to take a layover in Iceland or Copenhagen, Denmark, before flying to Greenland. The new flight is beneficial for the island's business and residents, according to Greenland government minister Naaja Nathanielsen. Tourists will spend money at local businesses, and Greenlanders themselves will now be able to travel to the U.S. more easily, Nathanielsen, the minister for business, mineral resources, energy, justice and gender equality, told Danish broadcaster DR. The route is also an important part of diversifying the island's economy, she said. Fishing produces about 90% of Greenland's exports. Tourism is increasingly important. More than 96,000 international passengers traveled through the country's airports in 2023, up 28% from 2015. Visit Greenland echoed Nathanielsen's comments. The government's tourism agency did not have projections on how much money the new flights would bring to the island. 'We do know that flights can bring in much more than just dollars, and we expect it to have a positive impact -- both for the society and travellers,' Tanny Por, Visit Greenland's head of international relations, told The Associated Press in an email. __ Associated Press writer Stefanie Dazio in Berlin contributed to this report.
