The new Nova Gidue M5 UV flexo press is a 10-color, 430mm-wide machine that will be installed in its plant in Istanbul by the end of the year.

Founded in 1992 by Mehmet Asman, owner and director of FTK Ambalaj, the converter specializes in the production of shrink sleeve labels.

It invested in its first Nuova Gidue M5 UV flexo press in 2012, which is a 370mm-wide model with eight printing stations. The decision to invest in Nuova Gidue technology came from the successful experience of production manager Muharrem Karaca, who, in a previous job, had been working with Nuova Gidue printing machines for a long time and was so satisfied with its results and with the ease of operation that he wanted to work with Nuova Gidue technology again.

‘In my experience I’ve been working for many years with Nuova Gidue presses,’ said Karaca, ‘and I think that they are the best solution for every converter that is looking for the best quality with the minimum waste.’

Asman said: ‘The use of advanced technology is fundamental to boost the company to a higher level. In these years we’ve been working hard to become an international company, a pioneer of innovations in the packaging industry. Nuova Gidue technology is completely in line with our mission, as it is the most up-to-date, state-of-the-art printing technology on the market that helps us to reach our main goals.

‘When we bought our first Nuova Giude press, our production manager knew its technology very well and it is also thanks to his positive feedback that we decided to install a Nuova Gidue press. Now that we have experienced the concrete results achieved with the installation of the first Nuova Giude M5 press, we have decided without hesitation to purchase a second one.’

Giorgio Deliziosi, sales area manager for Nuova Gidue, said: ‘We are glad of this further investment by FTK Ambalaj. This kind of sales success is a perfect example of the deep relation of mutual confidence and trust that Nuova Gidue establishs with its customers through the years.’
