Faller Packaging starts folding carton production in Horsens

In late summer 2025, Faller Packaging will start producing folding cartons at its new site in Horsens, Denmark. The company is thus implementing a project that was already announced in April 2023: the establishment of an additional production facility for the Nordics. The aim is to reliably meet the growing demand.

The new plant will complement Faller Packaging's existing facility in Hvidovre, Denmark, and is a targeted response to the growing demand for pharmaceutical packaging. The plan is to increase total capacity in Denmark to around 900 million units per year. In Horsens alone, the packaging manufacturer plans to produce up to 600 million folding cartons per year.

The decision to open a second production site is part of the growth strategy for the folding carton division of the Faller Packaging Group. The packaging specialist had already taken over a 5,700 square metre building complex in Horsens in 2023 and modernized it extensively. The production facility will now go into operation in stages - the future employees will first undergo extensive training in Hvidovre.

More capacity, more customer proximity

A major advantage of the new plant is that the modern full-format printing presses enable a much higher output per sheet than the half-format technology previously used.

Managing Director, Christian Holmskov, explains: 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.

Faller Packaging will produce exclusively in Horsens, while the administrative processes will remain in Hvidovre. Both plants work closely together - while Hvidovre acquires new customer projects and produces and finishes special and standard folding cartons, the new subsidiary in Horsens, 250 kilometers away, takes on large series.

The second production site in Denmark offers numerous advantages for local pharmaceutical manufacturers and global players based in the region: Faller Packaging creates more security through shorter delivery times, greater flexibility in logistics and better service.

Christian Holmskov adds: What's more, we are present here in an area that offers good conditions for further growth thanks to a strong industrial environment.
