Following its 2019 acquisition with Kocher+Beck, A B Graphic International (ABG) has renamed Enprom Solutions as ABG Girona and designated the Girona operation its Centre of Excellence for Flexible Packaging. The change integrates the business into ABG’s structure and assigns it a larger role in developing the group’s flexible packaging portfolio.
ABG Girona designs and manufactures non-stop equipment, converting systems, sleeve solutions and automated lines for flexible packaging and label production. It also undertakes bespoke engineering projects involving automation.
Under the revised structure, the site will support development of ABG’s flexible packaging machinery, including its FlexPack equipment range. The Girona engineering team will work with the group’s sales, service, manufacturing and product-development operations. ABG said the rebrand is intended to present the site’s capabilities while retaining the technical experience developed under Enprom Solutions.
“With Girona’s considerable engineering knowledge and expertise, particularly in flexible packaging, the transition from Enprom Solutions to ABG Girona is a natural progression,” said Simon Nadin, group CEO of ABG. He said the designation would connect the site’s engineering resources with the group’s other operations.
The business’s legal name will become ABG International Solutions Girona S.L., subject to final administrative approval. No timetable for completing this process was provided.
Joan Marc Taboas will continue as CEO and executive director of ABG Girona. He said the transition would give the operation a more visible identity within the group while retaining its engineering experience and customer relationships.
ABG Girona will continue working with Kocher+Beck in Germany on specialist projects and technology development. Kocher+Beck remains a shareholder and has continued supporting the business since the acquisition. The announcement provided no details of further investment, staffing changes or production capacity at Girona.
