Etiflex Enters New Markets With The Installation Of A New FA-22
February 17, 2021Etiflex A/S, Nilpeter partner for more than 15 years, has acquired a new FA-22 to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their label production, and to add new filmic and carton products to the portfolio.
Important Player in the Nordic
Region
Etiflex A/S was founded in 1973 on the pillars of quality, innovation, and
delivery assurance. Today, Etiflex is one of the most important players in the
Nordic region producing a high volume of labels and flexible packaging for
customers such as Carlsberg, Velux, Tican, and more. The FA-22 is Etiflex’
third Nilpeter printing press, in addition to their FB-4200 and FA-4.
There’s No Denying of Nilpeter’s Impact
“We’ve worked with Nilpeter since 2005, and to be frank, there’s no denying
of their impact; having a stable, high quality press is probably the most
import part of our business,” says Brian Sandgaard, Technical Director
and Partner, Etiflex A/S.
”The pandemic has affected everyone, us included, but Nilpeter actually
managed to install the FA-22 in the start of December, at the height of the
second wave, by adhering to all restrictions and guidelines. They have been
extremely helpful,” Brian Sandgaard continues.
Business is Good
”A very successful installation by the way – the press has run perfectly
since day 1! With self-adhesive labels, monofilms, and carton,” Brian
Sandgaard concludes, before leaving the door open for new Nilpeter equipment in
the future, ”We just bought one, however, business is good, so who
knows.”
Incredibly Easy to Operate
”The new FA-22 is incredibly easy to operate. It goes into register in
seconds and stays there no matter what material is in the press, and at any
speed. I really enjoy operating this piece of equipment,” says Jesper
Nielsen, Printer & Team Leader, Etiflex A/S.
Built Around the Modern Printing Operator
The FA-22 is the perfect fit for an ambitious printer like Etiflex. The press
is designed to accommodate the printer’s ever-growing needs and built around
the modern printing operator, with an intuitive user interface and fully mobile
print controls. A benchmark of flexibility and modularity, the FA allows
printers to enhance the performance of their press with a high level of
automation. Last but not least, all main components are produced in-house at
Nilpeter in Denmark and the United States, meaning higher production quality
and control.
Delighted to Continue The Partnership
“Despite everything going on we were able to conduct both remote and in-person
meetings, tests, and training, of course following all health guidelines and
policies put into place by both companies,” says Jesper Jørgensen,
Global Sales Manager, Nilpeter A/S. “We’ve established a great
partnership with Etiflex over the years, and we’re delighted to see it grow,” Jesper
Jørgensen concludes.
