Quick Delivery Saves the Day

Recently, the Norwood Souvenir Writing Products Facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, celebrated its 100th year of manufacturing custom-printed writing instruments.

Unfortunately, in June 2008, the “once in a thousand years” flood that swept through Iowa totally devastated the facility. However, with a quick call to Bosch Packaging Technology, Norwood was able to replace key equipment and get production back online, in a different facility, in only a few days.

Prior to the flood, Norwood had been wrapping writing instruments in polypropylene, heat-sealable film with a Doboy Stratus Horizontal Wrapper from Bosch. The Stratus wrapper is a cost-effective, flexible, easy-to-use and compact piece of equipment that features the same servomotor and PC technology found in high-end flow wrappers. The machine is designed for a wide variety of products including hardware, bakery, candy, housewares, and many other industries.
