Nilpeter's FA-26 press gains momentum across European market

Nilpeter's FA-26 press has expanded its reach from proven success in the US to firm establishment across Europe, with recent installations at Reflex Group in the UK, Logett in Austria and facilities in Croatia and Spain.

Hon-Ing in Croatia installed its first FA-26 this summer, dedicating the press primarily to shrink sleeve production. The new press has exceeded expectations from the start.

'The FA-26 has delivered everything we hoped for and more. It has proven to be a real success from day one,' commented Željka Kašnar, executive director at Hon-Ing.

The FA-26 targets value-added short-run flexible packaging and labels with inline capabilities. Its robust unit construction, compact footprint and landscape design ensure optimum register and consistent high print quality at all speeds.

'Especially when it comes to flexible substrates such as shrink sleeves, but flexible packaging in general, the FA-26 truly stands out, offering significant advantages and differentiating Nilpeter in a competitive market,' explained Carsten Clemensen, CTO at Nilpeter. 'On top of that, the latest model includes new and updated automation features, including register, camera inspection and more.'

The European expansion reflects broader print market trends, where demand for larger formats, higher speeds and uncompromising quality continues to rise.

'What we initially saw as a strong movement in the US has now firmly reached Europe. And honestly, if you can have a favorite flexo press among our many outstanding models, this is the one - our Formula 1,' noted Alex Aarslew-Jensen, international sales manager at Nilpeter. 'That's exactly why it makes perfect sense to showcase the FA-26 at the world's largest stage - Labelexpo Europe.'

Despite previous appearances at Labelexpo Europe in Brussels in 2023 and in Chicago last year, the FA-26 continues to draw increasing attention. The constantly updated and refined FA-26, on display in Barcelona, will feature new developments.
