Primoreels acquires second Nilpeter FA-17 after a fire

During the restart, Primoreels purchased a refurbished Nilpeter FA-2500 to run production as quickly as possible after the fire. 

 

‘When your entire factory with production equipment, inventory, and development projects burns to the ground, it feels as if the rug is pulled out from under you,’ Henrik Sahlberg, CEO, Primoreels said.   

 

‘Our contingency plan was, however, launched with full force on the day of the fire, so uncovering usable converting and printing machines in the market was initiated, spare stocks of raw materials were dispensed, and several different printing partners were immediately activated with preparation of clichés and converting tools.’ 

 

He added: ‘The contingency plan was followed to the letter, which meant that all of Primoreels’ customers were kept running, and not a single one experienced production stoppage due to the fire. That is a remarkable effort, and something we can be proud of.’ 

 

Jesper Jørgensen, Global Sales Manager, Nilpeter, said: ‘Obviously, the fire was very, very unfortunate, but we are pleased that we were able to help Primoreels in a time of need, alongside our industry partners, and make sure they could sustain production during the rebuild. We’re very happy to continue the partnership and expect great things now that Primoreels is 100 percent re-established.’ 

 

Built around the modern print operator, with an intuitive user-interface and mobile print controls, the Nilpeter FA-17 provides stability and tight register tolerance. The printer prints on multiple substrates including self-adhesive materials, flexible packaging films, polymer films, metallic films, and paper.
