SEI Laser Converting chooses Vetaphone

Based in Buja in the northeast corner of Italy, Sei Laser Converting is part of the international SEI Group with more than 7,000 installations in 53 countries. The company is engaged in various markets, from automotive to packaging.

Its involvement with manufacturing technology for the label and flexible packaging sectors brought SEI Laser Converting into contact with Vetaphone back in 2010 when it developed its narrow web laser die-cutting capability into a fully modular converting line known as the Labelmaster for roll-to-roll and roll-to-sheet applications.

‘It was our entry into the film and foil area that first alerted us to the need for surface treatment, and after extensive market research, we identified Vetaphone as our preferred supplier,’ commented Raffaella Copetti, purchasing manager at the Buja site.   

Renowned as the inventors of what is known globally as corona treatment, Vetaphone has a unique knowledge relating to all types of polymer-based materials and invests heavily in R&D to ensure that its technology keeps pace with the rapidly changing market.

Vetaphone’s attention to detail appealed to SEI, whose business philosophy is closely aligned. The modular concept of the Labelmaster makes it highly adaptable to individual customer requirements with the benefit that it can be reconfigured after installation to cope with changes in market demand.  

Giuseppe Rossi, Vetaphone’s sales manager for Italy, added: ‘This sits well with our technology because Vetaphone corona systems can be finely tuned to meet the specific demands of different substrates, and they are also upgradeable as the need arises.’

‘We have nothing but praise for the way in which Vetaphone works with us on all of our projects, and only positive feedback from our customers on the reliable performance of its corona systems,’ concluded Copetti.
