Church Hill—Today, BindTech - Kingsport installed a CMC CartonWrap 1000 Line, giving customers the ability to utilize a fully automated carton machine to ship their books for B2C clients.

“This machine and its capability will be a game changer for our operations here. It will also expand offerings to our other global BindTech operations and our customers! The package quality will be improved compared to previous manufacturing processes while decreasing the production timeline. When integrated in with our new, Warehouse Management system (CoreLogic), it will give us the ability to offer inventory tracking, improved control, and allow our clients to see real-time boxing and mailing activity.” said Rick Jennings, Division Manager at BindTech - Kingsport.

Jeff Belcher, CMC America Service Director commented “Our technical team worked closely with BindTech during their packaging assessment process. They sell high end books and achieving zero tolerance around the book was of the essence to protect the product. Ensuring the end user receives books in perfect condition was absolutely key in their decision process. CMC America will continue to offer timely support to guarantee KPIs are met when ramping up capacity and that BindTech can deliver on expectations”
