Mark Andy has been a strategic partner of Reganta since the company's inception, and the two new presses are the latest in a long line of the American manufacturer’s technology delivered to Lodz, Poland. 

The P7 is capable of speeds up to 306m/min. Reganta ordered it in an 11-unit configuration, with a separate servo drive for each printing unit and impression cylinder. The press is managed by a dedicated control module with a touch screen, and its configuration allows for remote internet-based diagnostics. 

The E5 delivered to Reganta offers a maximum speed of 230m/min and is equipped with eight printing units fitted with ProLED UV technology, turn bars, cold foiling, and die-cutting, as well as pre- and auto-register. The E5 produces quality labels and printed packaging thanks to its precise, independent ink and impression units, advanced die-cutting options, and web tension control system. 

‘Mark Andy has played a significant part in Reganta’s development over the years, and we are very happy to continue this co-operation,’ said Igor Szlaski, owner and CEO of Reganta. ‘New, highly advanced presses are an important part of our investment schedule as they will increase our productivity significantly and improve the quality of our labels. Importantly, they will support our intensive growth and allow us to increase Reganta’s presence in many foreign markets, especially Europe.’

Both presses were installed in January 2022 and started production on schedule, which immediately impacted Reganta’s daily operations.

‘It is their productivity at high speed that is significant and has directly impacted on our production capacity with faster job handling. As a result, we have shortened delivery times to the customer. The P7 is a top-class press equipped with many technologically advanced features that enrich the label manufacturing process. It is very user-friendly and ergonomic for daily operation. The E5 is a revolutionary press that also has a full servo drive, added Szlaski.

‘We delivered these two presses to allow Reganta to realize their ambitious business plan and meet the changing needs and expectations of brand owners and consumers. Each press opens huge opportunities for the Company, and we are delighted that Reganta continues to choose Mark Andy technology as part of its strategic plan. I am convinced that the equipment’s capacity and potential will help Reganta achieve its goals very quickly,’ concluded Tom Cavalco, executive vice president of Mark Andy.
