Gidue’s Brazilian S-Combat produces award-winning label

A label printed with S-Combat do Brasil 370mm machine is the winner of the 15th Premio Qualidade Flexo 2007, organized by the ABFLEXO/FTA, Brazilian Flexography Association, in the ‘narrow web printing on reticulated paper’ category. It was awarded on December 6 2007 in So Paulo.

Since 1993, ABFLEXO/FTA has awarded national and international companies for their best performances in flexo printing. The awards are decided by a jury of 100 flexo professionals.

The S-Combat ‘Fabricado no Brasil’ project was launched by Gidue in 2006 as a result of the co-operation with the Raeder of Petrpolis (RJ) company, which is responsible for manufacturing. The first machine was unveiled in May 2007.

Gidue’s production in Brazil is aimed at covering the demand in the area and offering an alternative to imports from Europe for the entire South American region.
