Nuova Erreplast and BOBST partnership
Nuova Erreplast is one the fastest growing converters of flexible packaging in southern Italy, with a more than ten-fold increase in turnover over the past decade. To continue this growth and enable further innovation, the company has now chosen to work with BOBST and invest in the EXPERT CI flexo press.
Nuova Erreplast CEO Domenico Raccioppoli said: “BOBST is well-known for its market-leading flexo technology and for reliability, and the EXPERT CI press has all the features in terms of productivity and process innovation that we need to meet upcoming challenges and enable us to expand.”The 10-color BOBST EXPERT CI press at Nuova Erreplast can process 1,300mm wide webs and offers a top production speed of 600m/min.
The press is also fitted with smartFLO inking and doctor blade chamber system for predictable and controlled results and smartGPS offline fully automatic registration and impression setting for minimum start-up waste.
Automation is complemented by the EXPERT CI’s connectivity features, which mean that the Nuova Erreplast team can access production data remotely with ease. It also enables predictive maintenance so parts can be replaced before they fail to avoid costly processing errors and downtime.
Recently Nuova Erreplast has also made a significant investment in a new manufacturing line for making medical, aseptic and antibacterial packaging, and during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the company has initiated mass production of medical masks.
Danilo Vaskovic, Sales Director, Bobst Bielefeld, added: “We are very excited and proud to welcome Nuova Erreplast as a new customer to BOBST, and we look forward to a long and fruitful co-operation.”
