ICOM Goes Digital with HP PageWide C500 Corrugated Press
March 30, 2022ICOM S.P.A., a leading Italian producer of corrugated packaging, has taken its first investment in its digital transformation journey, purchasing an HP PageWide C500 digital corrugated sheet-fed press. With this new investment in digital technology, ICOM is looking to migrate key volumes from its flexo packaging production to offer its customers advanced digital solutions.
Founded in 1973, ICOM has over 40 years’ experience in the printing industry and is considered a top producer of corrugated packaging. It produces a wide range of applications for customers primarily in the food and beverage industry, including Italian brands such as Colussi, De Cecco, Parmareggio and Ariston. The newly acquired press will be installed at ICOM’s plant in Perugia in May 2022.
ICOM’s migration from flexo to digital printing is part of its plan for operational efficiency and improvement of its sustainability profile, following a growing trend among leading corrugated packaging providers. With the HP C500’s robust capabilities, ICOM will offer short to high volume printing runs of sustainable packaging with endless creative possibilities at offset print quality, while saving costs.
