EFTA Flexo Award the second recognition in 2023 to AV Flexologic for the prepress automation technology RoboCELL

As flexo industry pioneers committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation, AV Flexologic secures its second recognition of the year in 2023. RoboCELL, the latest technology from AV Flexologic, has been awarded the prestigious EFTA-Benelux Award.

In April, AV Flexologic received in the United States the Technical Innovation by the esteemed Flexographic Technical Association for RoboCELL. This November, AV Flexologic celebrated the second award in Belgium, assigned by the European Flexographic Technical Association Benelux.

The Association places a strong emphasis on sharing and expanding knowledge of the latest technical developments in flexo printing processes. The EFTA-Benelux Flexo Award is reserved for companies that demonstrate exceptional advancements in the flexographic printing industry.  For the AV Flexologic team, this award represents a significant validation of their ongoing efforts to keep flexographic printing competitive and elevate it to new heights. The Flexo Award also gives the opportunity to AV Flexologic to be eligible for the international FTA Europe Diamond Awards. 

“This reward is the icing on the cake” says AV Flexologic Managing Director Bowden Maingay, “a result of the great partnerships with our customers and suppliers, combined with some extremely clever design and enormous dedication by the AV team. We are proud to help improve the mounting process of our customers.”
