Hungarian converter installs Mark Andy 2200 press

Gocsej Nyomda, a label converter based in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary, has installed a Mark Andy 2200 press. The deal was completed with participation from the press manufacturer’s local distributor, Grimex.  

‘We needed to move from water-based to UV inks to achieve the quality our customers were demanding,’ said Gocsej managing director Gyorffy Zoltan, referring to the company's traditional markets of meat producers and beverage manufacturers. ‘We find the 13 inch web width useful because it allows us to tap into new markets that were previously outside the scope of our old 10 inch press.’   

The Mark Andy 2200 is equipped with eight full-UV flexo print units, delam/relam, web turn bars, cold foil, automatic register, hot air drying, a sheeter and conveyor. 

Founded originally as an offset printing house, Gocsej currently has four multi-color SRA2 presses and is looking to move to B2 format. Approximately 40 percent of Gocsej's total output is produced on the Mark Andy, with customers across Hungary and beyond. One international customer has recently committed to transferring its entire print requirements to Gocsej from the seven individual printers it now uses.
