Nilpeter invests in ‘leaner’ manufacturing facilities and new showroom

To meet demand for the MO-4 rotary offset combination press launched at Labelexpo Europe 2007, Nilpeter has installed the latest metal processing equipment and automated manufacturing systems at its main plant in Slagelse, Denmark. Around a dozen presses have already been ordered, with more in the pipeline, and delivery will commence from April this year.

Over the past two years the company has invested millions of euros in state-of-the-art precision facilities for the factory, as well as for its US plant in Cincinnati. Nilpeter also has a manufacturing facility in Brazil, with another opening in India later this year.

Nilpeter has also set up a new working showroom in Denmark that opens in April 2008. Besides press demonstrations, there are facilities for operator training and testing users’ consumables. As well as an MO-4 platform press, the showroom will also include Caslon, a 4-color UV inkjet press for digital labels, and the company’s FA-4 UV flexo press. Nilpeter presses can also be seen in the regional showrooms and training centers operated by its subsidiaries, as well as by strategically-placed dealers and distributors around the world.
