Russian label printers Evroflex has installed its sixth multi-substrate MPS EF 520 printing press. The new 13 colour press has been launched to work in tandem with a previously installed MPS press in a similar configuration. It was installed by specialists from Ogard, MPS Systems’ representative in Russia.
Evroflex’s first MPS machine, purchased in 2005, was an EF 340. Since then four additional presses have been installed, with the fifth being an an EF 520 boasting 14 stations.
The multi-substrate EF 520 comes equipped with Automated Print Control (APC) to automatically set up the printing mode. Various finishing units are also on the press, including screen printing, lamination, cold foiling and die-cutting stations as well as the automatic non-stop rewinding system with automatic core gluing and unloading of finished rolls.
‘We only invest in advanced equipment to meet growing demands of our brand owners in high-quality labels,’ said Vitaly Zhaglin, CEO of Evroflex. ‘For many years we have partnered with the largest and well-known Russian liquor and food companies who require exceptional print quality and the best service. Therefore, the capabilities of our equipment must meet the needs of even the most demanding customers.’
‘Our investment in a sixth press from MPS was certainly a logical choice,’ added Dmitry Daev, chief technical officer at Evroflex. ‘MPS presses provide us with the highest level of quality, trouble-free operations, and cost reductions thanks to their full automation features. Another important point that remains unchanged during the many years of our partnership is service support. In fact, our MPS presses are highly reliable but when we need some assistance, Ogard never lets us down.’
