The company's broad operation scope, spanning from luxurious wine and spirits labels to essential skin care and household product labels, underscores its versatility in the Italian market. 

Vito Di Martino, etic.a’s operations director, articulated the strategic acquisition of the FA-17 flexo press as a move toward optimizing product delivery speed and efficiency. 

‘We aim to consistently surpass our customers' expectations through a modernized production flow, enhancing our agility and competitive edge in the market,’ Di Martino stated.

‘It's always a pleasure to see a new Nilpeter press settle in with a customer. I am confident it will be a great asset for etic.a, and we look forward to following the development,’ commented Angelo Tribocco, sales manager, Nilpeter. 

The collaboration between Etic.a labels and Nilpeter is a partnership rooted in shared values and visions for the future of flexography.

Peter Eriksen, COO of Nilpeter, highlighted the importance of this strong partnership. ‘The family-owned nature of both our companies fosters a genuine collaboration. We are immensely proud to contribute to etic.a’s growth journey and are eager to witness the evolution of this partnership,’ Eriksen remarked.
