This Gallus press forms part of the investment that Clondalkin has made in technology
The installation of a Gallus ECS 340 press to enhance its labels and packaging offering is just part of a €1million investment in new technology for Clondalkin Group.
The new nine colour UV press features 340 mm wide print, cold foil and reverse print capabilities and was bought specifically to expand the high quality and efficient label production capabilities offered to customers.
The investment package has also seen a number of existing machines receive upgrades and modifications. A Gallus EM 260 flexo press has been upgraded with a new re-register unit plus two additional print heads to enable label production in nine colours and up to four layers. Upgrades to an MPS flexo press includes an additional print head taking it up to 10 colours and a new web shifting unit allowing production of a five ply label in a single pass.
Malcolm Farnan, European sales director, said, ‘The investment creates two distinctive but complementary site offerings. Hull has a strong reputation for quality and innovation in the multi ply label sector which is highly valued by European brand owners and these significant upgrades strengthen this proposition. Kimbolton is now fully equipped to service the single ply pharma, cosmetics and toiletries market. We are very excited by these investments which significantly enhance our product and service capabilities and we are very pleased with customer interest in these service innovations.’
