The Printing Plant, in Cincinnati, Ohio, has upgraded its production equipment and product portfolio with the first North American installation of the Nilpeter Panorama digital press line.
President Tod Leonard said, ‘The improved speeds and web widths available with the Panorama allowed us to quote and win significant new business. One of our new customers has over 850 prime labels they are in the process of redesigning, and they specified that we would only be awarded with the order if we would commit to printing the labels on the new digital Nilpeter press.’
He continued, ‘We look forward to not only gaining new business from new customers, but also moving some of our current flexo jobs over and becoming more efficient.’
Until 2011, The Printing Plant remained a flexo house selling through a direct sales force and brokers to a wide range of industries including grocery, fast food, data capture and automotive. In 2011, it purchased its first digital press to better serve customers requiring small runs. Shortly after it added an on-press inkjet system to a Nilpeter flexo press.
VP of sales and marketing for Nilpeter USA, Paul Teachout, is pleased to continue the partnership with The Printing Plant, dating back to the 2011 with the installation of a 10 colour FB-4200 flexo press. ‘We are extremely pleased to continue our partnership with The Printing Plant, and very happy to provide them with the Panorama digital press line – a perfect fit for their needs. We look forward to the continued growth and success in our cooperation with The Printing Plant.’
