Falconer Opens Second Manufacturing Facility, Expanding Capabilities

  • Falconer opens its second manufacturing facility, operational since 17 November 2024, to expand capacity and improve employee facilities.
  • The 15,000 sq ft site features new gluing machines, a window patching line, and upgraded warehousing, enhancing production and distribution capabilities.

Falconer, a manufacturer of decorative printed folding cartons, has opened its second manufacturing facility in West Yorkshire. The new 15,000 sq ft site, which became fully operational on 17 November 2024, is set to enhance the company’s ability to meet growing customer demand while improving operational efficiency.

This expansion represents a key milestone in Falconer’s growth strategy, following three years of planning and careful site selection. Located near the company’s existing facility, the new site retains access to Falconer’s skilled workforce while adding increased production capacity. The new facility consolidates critical functions, including warehousing, packaging, and distribution, offering greater flexibility and improved lead times for clients.

The new site features additional gluing machines and a window patching line, alongside upgraded storage space for stock and samples. The investment also includes a state-of-the-art Crown forklift, optimising logistics from production to dispatch. The facility is designed to streamline operations and improve overall customer service.

In addition to serving the business’s clients, the new site also reflects Falconer’s commitment to employee well-being. The facility boasts upgraded cloakrooms and break areas, providing a more comfortable and convenient environment for its workforce.

Managing Director Richard Martin commented on the expansion, “This expansion is not just about growing our business but also about enhancing the ‘Falconer’ experience for our employees and customers alike.” The next phase of expansion will begin in early 2025 with the addition of a Heidelberg XL75 press, further enhancing the company’s capabilities in providing innovative print solutions.

Falconer continues to serve a range of industries including pharmaceutical, cosmetics, drinks, spirits, giftware, healthcare, veterinary, pet care, and luxury confectionery sectors, with a reputation for delivering high-quality packaging solutions.
