Geissmann Papier acquires third Comexi flexo press

The F2 MP flexographic press is the third Comexi machine acquired by the Swiss company.  

 

The machine prints at 500m a minute. Simultaneously, due to the built-in automation, job changeover and set-up are rapidly performed. 

 

Geissmann also benefits from the latest advances in service and spare parts. Comexi has invested in human team, advanced diagnostic systems, as well as an exhaustive stock of spare parts that allows all the strategic parts and components ready to ship. Furthermore, production control and traceability are fully implemented. 

 

Founded in 1942 as a family business, Geissmann Papier is currently managed by the third generation, with Daniel Geissman as the executive director. The company employs approximately 60 people. In the beginning, primarily mono films and carrier bags were produced. Through company growth as well as high machinery investments, innovation, and new market orientation, Geissmann Papier presently produces, for many years, a variety of papers, films and complexes. These products are supplied in the form of reels and bags for the flexible packaging industry, primarily food, from a wide range of raw materials. 

 

‘We have invested in this flexographic press because we know Comexi's excellent technology. This press machine has evident synergies with our other Comexi machines, both printing and laminating,’ Geissmann said. 

 

The Comexi F2 MP incorporates GeniusTech technology that is claimed to assist printers conquer challenges such as lack of skilled operators, a job length reduction and an increased number of job changes. The GeniusTech features include GeniusRun to eliminate the bouncing, the GeniusDry for maximum drying performances at high speed, and GeniusDoctoring for a trouble-free ink transfer. 

 

Comexi can provide a dedicated version for water base inks, or a hybrid machine for water base, electron beam or solvent base inks.
