GM sees increasing Latin America potential

Based in Santiago, Chile, GM LatAm has consolidated its operations in the region since its foundation in early 2012 with ‘a strong increase in installations for converters with HP Indigo and Xeikon digital presses’, according to Jos Kabouw, chief business developer.

The Latin American label industry has been a keen adopter of digital printing technology in recent years, and Kabouw believes that converters increasingly recognize that digital finishing can help maximize its benefits.

The DC 330 Hybrid Laser system is a versatile platform which can incorporate laser cutting, semi-rotary die-cutting, flexo and rotary silkscreen printing units, lamination, semi-rotary hot stamping and cold foil.

‘The DC 330 was three years in the making, with our company working with a team of experts that manufacture high-tech industrial laser systems,’ says Kabouw. ‘They created a system that is unique in the market – capable of flexible, high speed, digital production. It can be made even faster with a dual laser head and is a complete, ready-to-use system with no need for additional elements.
