Production has started at NCI’s new Auckland factory in the beginning of 2020.

A $35million investment in the new Auckland site has positioned NCI as a key player in the New Zealand infant formula market. The new ‘state of the art’ IF facility produces milk powder cans for our customers on leading European can making equipment. A high-hygiene packaging hall with the highest level automated in-line inspection systems set the benchmark for product protection for our infant formula cans.

Metal Star 3 printing-press – The only one in NZ

In the year 2000 NCI was world-wide the first company to purchase two Metal Star 1 printing presses in Australia. NCI has over 20 years of experience in metal decoration collaborating with our customers to create the highest printing standard for the consumer. This is particularly vital in the high-end milk powder market.

For the ‘State of the Art’ milk powder facility NCI once again collaborated with K&B and installed the latest Metal Star 3 printing press which. is the only one in New Zealand.

This enables NCI to be flexible in our supply chain by producing both the metal printing and the infant formula/food can making in one site.
