Grupo Flexográfico completes FAT for new Nilpeter FA-17

Grupo Flexográfico, a flexographic printing company based in León, Mexico, recently visited Nilpeter’s production facility in Slagelse, Denmark, to complete the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for its new FA-17. The test was successfully completed, and the press will ship to Grupo Flexográfico’s site in León, Mexico, where it will join a long line of other Nilpeter machines. 
 
Grupo Flexográfico has been a Nilpeter customer for many years, and the company is an especially strong player within premium labels for tequila, which will be the main application for the new FA-17. The press is configured with eight printing units, a Pantec embellishment unit, GEW drying technology and the advanced automation features that define Nilpeter’s FA-Line. Comprehensive training will be provided after installation to ensure a smooth transition into production.

In addition to the new FA-Line, Grupo Flexográfico also has a new FB-Line scheduled for delivery later this year.

Nilpeter has more than 600 presses installed in Mexico. Nilpeter will exhibit at stand C44 at Labelexpo Mexico in Guadalajara from April 1-3.

Nils Evers, Nilpeter’s general manager, Latin America, said: 'We truly appreciate the great collaboration we have with Grupo Flexográfico, and it is always a pleasure to support their growth with our latest flexo solutions. The successful FAT of their new FA-17 press is another milestone in our partnership. At the same time, the Mexican market remains highly important for Nilpeter, with more than 600 of our presses installed across the country. Labelexpo Mexico is a great opportunity for printers to explore our latest solutions firsthand and see how Nilpeter continues to push the boundaries of flexo printing technology.'
