Edale appoints Russia distributor

UK-based press manufacturer Edale has appointed EdaleRus as its distributor in Russia following successful participation in the Poligrafinter show.

The appointment was quickly followed by the sale of a 9-color Beta modular flexo press with combination flexo/screen and hot foiling units to Laguna, based in Tver. Laguna is an offset printing company which has moved into production of self-adhesive labels, where it will use the Edale press for printing healthcare, cosmetic and liquor labels. 

Evgeny Lebedev of EdaleRus, said: ‘We recently made a commissioning of the Edale Beta 330 flexo press at the Russian printing house Laguna in Tver. It was a joint installation with Edale’s engineers alongside specialists from EdaleRus. The press has many options, such as delam/relam, Stork screen printing unit, die-cutting, cold foiling and UV dryers. This is the first flexo press in this factory and we are delighted that Laguna chose the Edale Beta for their first taste in flexographic printing and I am positive they will not be disappointed.’

Alla Poltavtseva, director of Laguna, said: ‘This is our first Edale press as we diversify into the flexographic label market. We were very impressed with the FL-350 launch at Labelexpo Europe and really helped to secure in our mind that Edale were the right choice. Our decision to purchase the Beta then became an easy one after visiting an Edale customer in the UK, who also ran high specification labels on their Edale machines.’
