Nordvalls increases capacity with two Gallus Labelmaster presses

Swedish label converter Nordvalls Etikett has expanded its machine park with two more Gallus Labelmaster presses to meet the sharply increasing demand for highly processed labels in large volumes.

The two new flexo printing presses will join the first Gallus Labelmaster installed a year and a half ago and will be installed in December 2020 and January 2021.

Nordvalls has recently seen an increase in demand among both existing and new label customers. With the purchase of two more Labelmaster narrow web presses, the converter positions itself to meet the increasing demand and to increase the flexibility in the machine park.

‘We invest because we continue to grow and need to expand our capacity, but also to increase our flexibility and continue to meet customers' requirements for short delivery times,’ said Patrik Jenemark, Nordvalls’ managing director.

‘The reason Nordvalls chose Labelmaster is the quality Gallus stands for and the flexibility and cost-efficiency. Besides that, the modular machine system is easy to operate and offers minimal paper waste as well as production speeds of up to 200 m/min (656 ft/min),’ added Rickard Rafstedt from Heidelberg Sverige.

The two new Gallus Labelmasters are equipped with flexo and screen-printing units. Moreover, a cold foil unit and a rotary die-cutting unit will be integrated. Applications for this investment will be mainly self-adhesive labels for the pharma, cosmetics, food and manufacturing industry as well as security labels.
