The DC350Flex label finisher comes with options such as format-free semi-rotation spot varnish, die-cutting, slitting and dual rewind.  
 
Mischa Barthel, managing partner at Barthel Group, ‘Speeds of up to 80m/min in semi-rotary mode and an automated set-up process with connection to our MIS system made the GM DC350Flex perfect for us.  
 
‘The convincing technique in the machine is a very important point for us. However, it is also essential for us to have a close and reliable partner like Nilpeter, whom we have known and worked alongside through many projects.’   
 
Barthel Group was founded in 1984, and today the group consists of 8 companies and produces around 300,000 square meters of labels daily on six locations. The company continues its successful journey in the European label market and has recently acquired the label printing company ATB, in the Ruhr area.
