Lundberg Tech scales up pneumatic waste extraction manufacturing at new Danish headquarters
Lundberg Tech has relocated to a purpose-built facility in Køge, Denmark, consolidating its engineering and production to meet growing demand for automated waste extraction systems.
Consolidating operations to meet global converting demand
Lundberg Tech has officially completed the relocation of its global operations to a new, purpose-built headquarters in Køge, Denmark. The transition, finalized in August 2026, marks a strategic operational shift for the manufacturer of automated pneumatic waste extraction systems. Located approximately 35 kilometers south of Copenhagen, the new facility at Foldagervej 5D-E brings the company's administration, engineering, production, warehousing, and showroom under a single roof.
For the converting, label printing, and packaging sectors, machine uptime is heavily dependent on efficient waste removal. Edge trims, matrix waste, and die-cut scrap can quickly bottleneck high-speed presses and extrusion lines if not handled continuously. As packaging converters face increasing pressure to automate workflows and reduce manual waste handling, the demand for integrated pneumatic extraction systems has grown steadily throughout 2026.
Reorganizing in-house granulator production
The primary driver behind this relocation is capacity expansion. The Køge site provides the necessary footprint to scale up manufacturing and reorganize production flows, particularly for Lundberg Tech's core in-house granulator technology. By integrating engineering and production in the same physical space, the company aims to shorten development cycles for custom extraction solutions tailored to specific converting environments.
The new facility includes several key operational upgrades:
- Expanded floor space dedicated to the assembly and testing of heavy-duty granulators and cutters.
- A purpose-built logistics and shipping hub to streamline global distribution.
- An integrated showroom allowing converters to test waste materials through live extraction setups before implementation.
- Additional warehouse capacity to buffer against supply chain volatility and ensure faster spare parts delivery.
While the physical address has changed, the company's strategic focus remains firmly on developing waste extraction solutions that support continuous production scrap removal. The consolidation in Køge is designed to support Lundberg Tech's continued global activities across the printing, packaging, and extrusion industries, providing a scalable foundation for future expansion.
Consolidating engineering and manufacturing in a single European hub is a smart defensive play against supply chain fragmentation, ensuring tighter quality control over their core granulator technology while accelerating custom builds. As press speeds continue to increase across the packaging sector, will automated waste extraction transition from an optional upgrade to an absolute necessity for all mid-web and wide-web converters?
