On the road again

The new laboratory accommodates a complete range of packaging machinery and systems to showcase Kite’s broad multitude of solutions available to existing and prospective customers. A range of customer packaging solutions can be trialled and tested live in the mobile lab with a purpose-built box testing facility (including a precision multi access drop test attachment) and load stability testing function.

Kite has a reputation for their focus on sustainability and so this, their latest generation of mobile facility, has been designed and built to incorporate a green energy solution. The trailer section of the MPL is entirely run-on solar power taken from the roof mounted panels. The plastic panels which make up the interior of the laboratory are made from 80% recycled content.

Kite Packaging managing partner Gavin Ashe, says: “This new MPL represents a significant investment by Kite to help our customers find a more efficient and greener packaging solution. It allows us to take what is probably the best equipped packaging innovation and testing facility directly to our customers.”
