Rotolabel installs Nilpeter FA-17 flexo press

Rotolabel, a manufacturer of self-adhesive labels for the FMCG market segment, including wine, has installed an 8-color FA-17 flexo press from Nilpeter. The company has a longstanding partnership with Nilpeter, with whom it has done business from the older generation of letter presses to several FB- and FA-Lines. Last year, it extended the lifespan of two of its FA-3300 presses in a project led by Nilpeter.   

Rotolabel needed to add a new press to its existing Nilpeter line-up as its business and customer requirements continue to evolve  

Johann Koegelenberg, executive operations at Rotolabel said that it was a simple choice that gave its trusted relationship and Nilpeter’s reputation a well-regarded business.‘Our longstanding partnership with Nilpeter gave us the confidence to choose its new FA-17 flexo press and upgrade our printing technology. We needed a solution to improve our production volume and offer the latest technology, and Nilpeter delivered on both counts. The new press complements our existing line-up and provides more flexibility between presses. While it is a simple press, it is optimized for retail work and is fit for purpose to maximize our benefits.’  

One of the new press’s key advantages is automation for faster job changes . Jesper Jørgensen, global sales manager at Nilpeter, explained that full automation is essential in the latest versions of its presses and gives Rotolabel a much more efficient press that can run many different jobs all day with minimal waste.
