Aside from challenges , the year ahead will see Biopax focus on its ambitious expansion plan . “ We ’ re aiming to nearly double the size of our factory , taking our footprint to an impressive 110,000 square feet ,” Liam elaborates . “ Part of this expansion will be a series of investments in high-volume rotary flexographic printing and converting technology , which we believe will triple our folding carton capacity . It will allow us to double our warehousing space , which plays a crucial role in ensuring a robust and reliable supply chain .
“ Additionally , we ’ re proud to highlight the recent recognition of our founder , Dr Terry Cross OBE , who received an award from Business Eye for outstanding leadership and management . This accolade is testament to his visionary leadership , as his dedication to driving innovation and sustainability has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in shaping our successful trajectory .”
