"Thanks to the Kolbus AB300, it has allowed us to achieve savings in labour and purchase of tooling for the manufacture of small orders, as well as special designs and low-volume boxes. Another favorable point of the machine is that we can add many style codes thanks to its computer setup time, which allows the operator to load an order in 2 to 5 minutes."
