In the quaint village of Montreuil-l'Argillé, nestled in the heart of Normandy, France, Zalkin, powered by Pro Mach, a renowned manufacturer of capping machinery, embarked on a significant expansion journey in 2021. The decision to expand was driven by the need for greater independence in parts production, a lesson learned from the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the timing of the expansion coincided with the onset of the Ukraine War, adding an unexpected layer of complexity to the project, according to Laurent Fournier, president and general manager at Zalkin.
