Komori strengthens position in Canada through successful relationship with Komcan

Highlights from Komcan’s 2018 Komori sales include:

• Ellis Packaging of Pickering, Ontario, part of The Ellis Group and one of the largest independent Canadian packaging companies. It purchased its sixth Komori press last year, a 6-color Komori Lithrone GX40 with coater (GLX640C). The Ellis Group now has the largest number of GL presses in North America, with two presses in each of its three locations;
• Produlith Packaging, a full-service folding carton and flexible packaging company in Montreal, Quebec. It replaced two competitive presses with the purchase of a 6-color Komori Lithrone GX40 with coater (GLX640C) with H-UV ink curing system, along with Komori’s KP-Connect, a cloud-based technology for data-driven operations that offers real-time control of all printing processes;
• Whitehouse Graphics of Vaughan, Ontario, which installed a 6-color Komori Lithrone G40 with coater (GL640C) in its new facility in Woodbridge, replacing a competitive press; and
• Astley Gilbert, a full-service print and imaging solutions provider in Toronto, Ontario, which has been a Komori operation for many years. It added an 8-color Komori Lithrone G40P with coater (GL840PC) with Komori’s H-UV ink curing system.
