J & H Printing Solutions installs two flexo presses at Etimex in Mexico

J & H Printing Solutions has finished the installation of two JH1300 13-inch wide narrow web flexographic printing presses at Etimex, in Monterrey, Mexico. Etimex has been a supplier of labels and tickets in Mexico since 1972. J & H is a supplier of flexographic printing presses and other converting equipment manufactured in China.

One of the presses installed at Etimex is an 8-color flexographic printing press capable of printing on thin gauge film (to 18 microns). The other press is a 6-color press that has been specified for use with pressure sensitive substrates. Both presses are 13-inch presses.

‘The addition of the two JH 1300 presses gives us a new dimension of quality, versatility, and productivity,’ said Jorge Martinez, CEO of Etimex. ‘We were very pleased with the quality and workmanship of the JH machines. The exceptional value that the machines represent lead us to the decision to purchase, not only the one press we were planning on buying, but a second press as well. We have a large base of American and European machines. After careful review of the price and quality relationship of the J &H machines, relative to the American and European machines, the decision to form this new partnership with J & H became obvious and clear.

‘The installation also went great. Wayne Huang, J & H CEO, supervised the installation himself. The presses were installed in a couple of days, and then the focus quickly turned to training. My operators commented on how user friendly the machines are, and were running production jobs right away.’

‘We are very excited to have our first installation in Mexico,’ said Matt Jones, president of J & H Printing Solutions. ‘Etimex has an exceptional reputation and is one of the largest and most respected narrow web flexo producers in Mexico. We hope to generate more interest in the Mexican market, and our new partnership with Etimex gives us a level of credibility that should attract attention. We feel fortunate to have forged this relationship.’
