Silver Fox installs Nilpeter FB-Line with UV-LED
UK’s carbon-negative cable labels manufacturer Silver Fox has acquired its first Nilpeter printing press, an FB-Line complete with a UV-LED system. The company develops, manufactures, and supplies high-grade cable, wire, and equipment labeling products used in a range of industrial sectors around the world.
Nilpeter has added several new features such as Automated Plate Positioning System (APPS), pre-register and re-register functionalities with a new design.
Nicholas Michaelson, managing director, Silver Fox, said: ‘This new machine, coupled with our increasingly knowledgeable and skillful local workforce, will allow us to further support and enhance our growing network of distributors across the globe. Additionally, these new production capabilities will enable us to be even more responsive to customer needs, as well as open up the opportunity to develop new and innovative label types, for use with our Fox-in-a-Box labeling kit.’
On the June 2022, the secretary of State for Transport, the Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP, unveiled Silver Fox’s new specialist printing press. Made by Nilpeter, the press is over 10 meters long. It has allowed Silver Fox to achieve 100 percent in-house production and meet the growing needs of customers.
Nick Hughes of Nilpeter added: ‘It was a very interesting project selling a press to Silver Fox. It was great finding a new customer away from our traditional marketplace - finding such a bespoke product of cable making systems, which has never been on our radar. However, the FB-350 was up to the challenge and gives Silver Fox not only additional capacity but opens their marketplace to some special constructions. We wish the team even more success in the future.’
