Color Label, located in Aarhus, Denmark, was established in 1980 by Erik Grønning, who is still at the helm. It supplies self-adhesive labels to the food industry, the chemical industry, and for retail trade. Over the years, capacity has multiplied through investments in new and more efficient machinery, strong IT management, and the optimum physical facilities. After the latest expansion Color Label has now more than 3,600sqm at their disposal. 
 
Color Label has a line-up of 10 Nilpeter flexo presses, most recently adding a fully refurbished FA-2500, and will now replace two old FA-4200 with a new 8-color FA-17, complete with advanced equipment for extended content label production.  
 
Owner and CEO of Color Label Erik Grønning, said: ‘The installation of our new Nilpeter FA-17 is a great step forward for Color Label, and it is definitely a milestone for us towards digitalizing flexo. It gives us a wide range of new possibilities when it comes to automation of our in-house processes, and it optimizes our operation, quality, and effectivity significantly.’ 
 
Jesper Jørgensen, global sales manager, Nilpeter, added: ‘Since Color Label was founded in 1980 and kicked off with a Nilpeter Rotolabel F200, a steady fleet of Nilpeter presses has been added to Color Labels production floor over the years, always seeking new boundaries with the highest standards in quality and technology. The latest installation of the FA-17 with full Automation package cements this path forward. We are proud of our long-term cooperation with Color Label.’  
 
The FA allows printers to add value-adding Units, application and automation packages, according to application needs and budget. Future customizations are often done with the press of a button. All main components are produced in-house at Nilpeter.
