Memphis,
Tennessee (November 12, 2019) – Langston Companies, Inc. has made a series of investments
that will benefit their long-term strategy. Being a veteran in the packaging
industry, Langston plans on remaining a mainstay for decades to come. This
announcement arrives on the heels of the recent news release unveiling their
new website which was part of a corporate brand
refresh.
October marked a milestone towards
Langston’s vision through the lens of innovation, launching their most recent
capability with the latest technology in precision bag manufacturing equipment.
Multiwall general manager, Edward Langston shared, “With cutting-edge
technology, we can make bags for the most demanding, automated packing systems
with the ultimate in repeatable precision.” Coupling the equation of quality
output is the addition of a new gearless sleeved press with color-to-color
tight registration for vivid imagery.
As one can imagine with such sophisticated
equipment, comes all the bells and whistles. Langston can run extremely advanced,
light weight, high strength, breathable papers for ply reduction as well as low
dust filling and cleaner storage. What’s more, this resonates well with
businesses that have an initiative to reduce their environmental impact to save
natural resources.
Late 2018, Langston also introduced
the capability to make biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) laminated woven bags.
BOPP bags are widely sought after for their aesthetic retail appeal, durability
and moisture resistance. “This strategic move fits naturally with our fully
integrated ability to manufacture fabric from virgin resin to weave, allowing
us to control quality and cost from the start,” says George Parkey, Chief
Operating Officer. The popularity of BOPP bags is gaining momentum as they are recyclable
and a cost-effective package option.
Genuinely caring about what their
customers care about, the new additions are in the process of being FSSC 22000
certified as part of Langston’s commitment to their customers food safety expectations.
FSSC 22000 certification is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmark
providing worldwide recognition
and acceptance by food manufacturers and retailers, Langston
considers this paramount with quality being one of their factors of success.
