AB Graphic International has announced record sales of its label converting equipment in Italy through its Milan-based distributor Franchini & C. SRL. The company reports the installation of 15 product lines throughout Italy comprised of five Vectra slitter/rewinders, seven Omega inspection rewinders and two Omega label converting lines.

Tony Bell, sales director at AB Graphic International, said: ‘Franchini has had a very successful year with our Vectra and Omega range in the face of fierce competition from manufacturers based both in Italy and around the world. It says a lot for the company’s standing in Italy and we are of course delighted to have our brand and products so strongly represented.’

Laura Franchini, marketing manager, Franchini & C. SRL, said: ‘We have been working with AB Graphic International for over 30 years and historically it has always been a winning formula. They make high quality, competitively priced products that are both versatile and reliable. The constant innovation of their product line to meet new applications together with the technical expertise of our sales and after sales support team made 2007 one of the best years of our cooperation on record.’
