Comexi has taken an order for its F1 flexo press from Slovenian company Termoplasti-Plama, and will use the installation as a show room for the region
With the creation of this show room Comexi is able demonstrate to other customers the advantages of its flexible packaging press.
‘We decided to acquire a printing press from Comexi, they are a reliable, innovative and customer-oriented partner, which is absolutely necessary in today’s business world. During the testing of their machine and those of other suppliers, Comexi machines delivered unrivalled printing quality results at the higher speed, and with the quickest changes between production orders,’ said Sandi Prosen, CEO of Termoplasti-Plama. ‘It is also a great advantage that they integrate the manufacturing of the core elements of the machine, which includes the central drum, the printing mandrels and the printing unit frames. Furthermore, the company offers exceptional support for printing, laminating, and slitting technology. All Comexi current customers endorsed Comexi for its fast and efficient after sales service support,’ emphasised Mr Prosen.
‘We are very happy to collaborate with Termoplasti-Plama, a leader in its sector and a highly prominent company in the market,’ said Alessandro D’Agostino, Comexi area manager of the Balkan countries, who also adds that this agreement is very important, ‘from a logistics position, due to the location of Termoplasti-Plama being in the centre of Europe and that is a very good company reference in the area’.
The collaboration will benefit both companies, as the new flexographic press will be installed in a separate Termoplasti-Plama facility, which will also be a Comexi European showroom and democenter. ‘This agreement allows us to exhibit our flexographic technology with a fully automatic robot to every customer interested in flexo technology. Furthermore, with this collaboration agreement, Termoplasti-Plama will receive Comexi’s special training and service package, which is focused on improving productivity while ensuring the machine performs at the highest level. This partnership between the two companies has already begun as a win-win collaboration.’
The F1 press is Comexi’s most advanced solution to the current challenges in the flexible packaging market. This printing machine incorporates an anthropomorphic robot, which is capable of automatically manipulating all the sleeves involved in the printing process (anilox, plate and intermediate sleeves), reducing the time needed for job changeover, while printing at a speed of 600m/min. ‘We were the first company to develop a fully automatic sleeve change system with an anthropomorphic robot, and today we have already installed more than 20 machines of this type worldwide,’ said Mr D’Agostino, who highlights that this system, ‘Offers the fastest changeover time in the market, making the whole process more efficient and productive’. The Comexi F1 acquired by Termoplasti-Plama includes all the state-of-the-art peripherals to increase its efficiency, due to the incorporation of the patented Cingular Real system, which offers 100% pressure and register setup with minimum waste and colour matching through Cingular Match.
