The three Lundberg Tech central systems that will be installed at Optimum Group Belona, Etiket Nederland and Telrol will help increase productivity by reducing the number of machine stops for the handling of matrix waste. At the same time, they will reduce the need for manual handling of trim and matrix label waste. 

Lundberg Tech contributes to process optimization within new standards, supporting sustainable production by producing efficiently and with less material waste due to fewer production stops. Its unique concept also enables material separation for printing, slitting and converting applications. 

Harry de Wit, director at Optimum Group Belona, commented: ‘We have been using Lundberg Tech products since 2010 and have always been pleased with the performance and service. With new matrix waste handling installations, we expect to be able to gain a higher throughput on each machine – due to fewer stops and the fact that the waste handling system is always ready.’

‘I look forward to strengthening the partnership with Lundberg Tech and to working together in further optimization of Optimum Group’s printing processes,’ added Miriam van der Plaat, COO at Optimum Group.

‘The entire team at Lundberg Tech is very pleased to be selected as the preferred partner for the new central waste handling systems at Optimum Group Belona, Etiket Nederland and Telrol. We are looking forward to installing the systems and helping each site obtain a fast return on their investment,’ concluded Karsten Kejlhof, CCO at Lundberg Tech.
