A B Graphic (ABG) has supplied Abbott Label, a US-based family run trade-only label manufacturing company, with a Vectra ECTR four-spindle turret rewinder.
Established in 2001, Abbott Label consists of four strategically located manufacturing facilities based in Dallas, Georgia, California and Illinois. Operating an HP Indigo WS6900 and a Domino N610i, the company runs a digital print production centre alongside its head office at its 100,000sqft Dallas facility. Additional capabilities at its other sites include running Mark Andy flexo presses, up to 20in-wide and up to eight colours.
This is Abbott Label’s first equipment purchase from ABG. The 440mm Vectra ECTR supplied to the company can run at a top speed of 150m/min, thereby helping the company to increase workflow efficiencies and reduce lead times. It is also fully upgradable with a wide range of options, including automatic core loading, finished roll closure with print and apply label application, and ABG’s fleyeVision 100% camera inspection system.
Abbott Label managing director John Abbott said, ‘As we are always looking for ways to strengthen our service offering, the turret rewinder is a sound investment. ABG has been great to work with – a family-run company that shares many of our values, including strong customer service ethics. Abbott Label prides itself in selecting only the best vendors to partner with.’
