Waseema buys Bobst Fuego

Waseema Packaging has made its largest investment to date, with the purchase of a Bobst Fuego gluer to help with the continued growth of the business.

The Hertfordshire-based company specialises in food packaging for the Indian fast food market.

Owner Naseem Akhtar said the firm had bought the Fuego so it could run straightline, crashlocks and four- and six-corner boxes.

"Purchasing the Fuego means we can dedicate one of our older machines to a long-run job and use the Fuego for everything else."
Waseema sells its own-brand products both to wholesalers and also direct to retailers.

The business was established in 1981, and was initially a trade printing business.

Having identified an untapped market for fast food packaging, the business was subsequently rebranded as Waseema Packaging.
