Belarusian converter installs second Edale flexo press

Belarusian converter Maxiprint has installed a second press from UK-based manufacturer Edale. The UV 5-color Alpha was installed in December 2010 and joins an 8-color modular Beta press, used for ticketing applications, which the company purchased four years ago. 

Andrey Sheiko, owner and MD of Maxiprint, whose core business is the production of food and beverage labels, said: ‘Quality and reliability were key points when choosing our initial flexo press, the Beta. Based on this, the decision to buy a second machine was easy as we had been so pleased with not only the first machine, but the quality of service. The Alpha seemed like the perfect solution for us this time, as we are already looking at future developments and with the Alpha there is the possibility for us to upgrade to the 9-color Alpha-Multi as business increases further.’ 

The Alpha press has a footprint of 2.5m and a short web path of less than 12m.
