Martin Automatic has reiterated its intent to help streamline and simplify the automation of print production, having introduced the market to its ‘Easy’ proposition during Labelexpo Europe 2023.

The company, a manufacturer of web handling equipment for the printing, packaging and converting industries, showed its MBS non-stop automatic butt splicer and LRD non-stop automatic transfer rewinder at the September event. These were displayed with ergonomic, space saving considerations as requested by Krämer Druck, which has now installed said equipment. This is the second time Krämer Druck, which specialises in the production of wine and spirits labels, has installed non-stop automation technology from Martin Automatic on a label press.
Martin Automatic also introduced customers to its four-point ‘Easy’ proposition – easy to use, easy to understand, easy to maintain and easy to integrate. With specific regard to the final proposition, the company’s vice president of sales and marketing, Gavin Rittmeyer, commented, ‘We have provided non-stop solutions for nearly all the leading narrow web press, converting and laminating manufacturers.’ In the digital realm, this has included the automation of HP Indigo equipment and integrated roll change automation for other digital and hybrid press platforms, including Domino, Gallus, Kodak and others.
Mr Rittmeyer continued, ‘We do not compete with OEMs but work alongside them to ensure customers have the best possible overall experience when automating new presses, or when automating presses aftermarket. It is another part of our overall philosophy, to help make the industry more efficient, more environmentally healthy, more prosperous and more friendly.’
