LemuGroup strengthens global presence with US plant

LemuGroup continues its global expansion with the integration of Converting Equipment International (CEI), a US company located in Montana, next to Glacier National Park. This move strengthens the group's presence in the North American market, a key step in providing direct and personalized support to US customers and expanding LemuGroup's portfolio.

'Converters need partners who can respond quickly and deliver complete solutions,' said Simon Gross, spokesperson for CEI. 'This alliance with LemuGroup gives our North American customers faster access to global technology while opening new doors for CEI equipment and expertise abroad.'

The new plant manufactures inspection, cutting and rewinding machines, as well as other high-speed equipment such as RFID insertion and programming, die cutters, digital finishers and hybrid presses. This equipment is designed for sectors such as food and beverage, packaging, health care, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, renewable energy and digital applications. 

One of the most notable developments is the CEI BossJet equipped with digital technology. This system integrates digital inkjet printing with high-quality embellishment, conversion and finishing processes in a single pass. The result is greater productivity, lower operating costs and a fast return on investment on the market, suitable for short and medium runs.

With this move, LemuGroup increases its production capacity and technological synergies. The company now has greater knowledge and insight into the North American market and is generating ideas and approaches that can be transferred and adapted to other markets.

'Our goal is to build lasting partnerships that help converters compete worldwide,' said Iñaki Larrea, spokesperson for LemuGroup. 'With CEI now integrated into LemuGroup, we are building a bridge between North America and the rest of the world that ensures customers benefit from both local support and global innovation.”

With this addition, LemuGroup now has five production centers: four in Europe and one in the US. In addition, it has two key commercial and technical offices: LemuGroup Headquarters in Europe and LemuGroup USA.
