‘The AB Graphic equipment will help to increase our production and provide excellent service to our clients. It has already served to reduce the bottle-neck that was forming along our finishing lines,’ said Zoilo López Lorenzo, head of Loc España’s production department.

The Getafe, Madrid-based company has operated for 35 years and employs 60 people – 60 percent of whom are under the age of 30. With nine printing lines, the family-run company exports to France, Portugal, Austria and Poland, with 70 percent of production dedicated to its local market.

Launched at Labelexpo Americas 2013, the Omega SRI is the latest specification in the SRI series from AB Graphic and includes 100 percent print face inspection camera and Omega Autoslit terminal for automatic positioning of the scissor slitting blades.
