Indian converter Kem Cards - part of the TM Enterprises playing-cards manufacturing group – is the first to install a Gidue Combat M1 press following its launch at Labelexpo India last November.

Kem Cards was founded 13 years ago by Mr. Haresh to produce beer, liquor and pharma labels.

The Combat M1 is an evolution of the established S-Combat design. It incorporates a modified Flower flexographic print unit for easier operator access, and a shorter web path. The converting section has been completely redesigned with independent servo motors for each die-cutting unit and easy access to the slitting section. The three servo-driven die-cutting units allow for great converting flexibility, accurate tension and register control.

‘We find the M1 a great press because it is easy to use, fast and offers several options,’ said Haresh. ‘We are very excited about this strategic purchase as it brings true value and a competitive advantage to our business.’

Sudhir Samant, business unit head at Gidue distributor Reifenhauser India, said: ‘After evaluating the options available in the Indian market, Kem Cards decided on Gidue M1 press. This machine will dramatically reduce set-up time and increase the production quality and capacity.’
