LariTryck makes double investment in Mark Andy

The 6-color, servo-driven P7 for LariTryck has a 430mm web width and will be fitted with a corona treater and web cleaner, chill drums for handling unsupported films, delam/relam, cold foil and QCDC system. It is due for delivery in June 2017.

The Digital Series has a 330mm web width, one flexo unit before a CMYK+white inkjet module and two flexo units, leading to a QCDC module.

LariTryck already operates three Mark Andy Performance Series P7 and two 2200 presses, located at plants in Nässjö and Bjuv, Sweden, and company CEO Johan Ripa commented: ‘The Mark Andy P7 presses have allowed us to grow our business year on year by 15 percent so we urgently need extra flexo capacity. But when I watched the live demonstration of the Digital Series I could immediately see how it could open opportunities for us in new markets. 

‘Of all the manufacturers of digital print technology, Mark Andy has the best understanding of the label market, and I am excited about our prospects with the Digital Series hybrid press,’ he added.

Speaking for Convertec, Mark Andy’s agent in Scandinavia, Joakim Marcusson said: ‘LariTryck has been a long-term Mark Andy user and always invested in the best technology we have to offer – but to secure a P7 flexo order and Digital Series at the same time was a real bonus, and will undoubtedly move Johan Ripa and his team up to the next level of excellence.’

The two million USD investment was made at the recent Mark Andy Open House in Warsaw.
