The 25-year-old family company based in Ames, Iowa is run by second generation siblings, Tom Kiliper and Lindsay Kiliper-Maysent. Kiliper Corporation’s 32,000 ft² facility houses 12 – 48” 8c printing capabilities, an in-house graphic design department, laminating equipment as well as stretch and polybag converting machinery.

“We are excited to have partnered with Windmoeller & Hoelscher.  As we continue to invest in the growth of our company, it is critical to partner with the right companies and the right people.  The W&H Miraflex II will allow us to remain a leading printer and converter of stretch sleeves and other flexible packaging,” said Tom Kiliper, Co-Owner. The 41” 8c MIRAFLEX II press is equipped with W&H’s fully-integrated VISION web inspection system with Defect Check and Barcode Check, which provide the machine operator with real-time oversight and control of the job on press.  For quick changeovers, the press will have EASY SET HD and S for fully-automatic impression setting and EASY REG M for automatic registration setting as well as the TURBOCLEAN inking and wash-up system.
