ABG shows 12 cutting-edge machines

Leading print finishing equipment manufacturer, A B Graphic International (ABG), is occupying an impressive 4,000 sqft stand and an additional 640 sqft stand within the FlexPack Factory at Labelexpo Americas 2024.

As the company celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, the exhibition is a pivotal event for ABG providing a prime opportunity to showcase its extensive range of products and strengthen connections with its valued customers. The company is exhibiting on booths 3223 and 6786. 

During the event at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago on September 10-12, ABG is showcasing 12 cutting-edge machines from all its manufacturing sites, representing the full breadth of ABG’s portfolio. Several of these products will demonstrate new innovations designed with ABG’s customer needs in mind, with a particular focus on automation. ABG Connect, the company's automated workflow solution, is being showcased on its flagship Digicon Series 3, giving customers a glimpse of how automation can revolutionize their production process with automated job changeovers. Other solutions showcasing automation include the SRI3 and Vectra AutoSet, illustrating fully automated setups to make production processes easier and more efficient with reduced operator input. 

The company's new NSU Lite offers the efficiency of ABG’s non-stop technology in an entry-level model. It has a compact footprint and is driven by a brake system. The NSU Lite can be seen running alongside ABG’s latest Converter platform and Vectra ECTR Turret Rewinder, demonstrating how they can provide a complete solution from roll to finished product. Additionally, its new patented technology offers automatic waste stripping to reduce downtime, as the machine will no longer need to stop to change a roll of waste material. 

Alongside the main stand, ABG also has a significant presence at the FlexPack Factory on booth 6786. Here it is showcasing products from its shrink sleeve range, including the Turret Seaming Rewinder (TSR) featuring its innovative smart wheel technology, and a Doctoring Machine (DR) for the inspection and doctoring of shrink sleeve and flexible packaging. Joining ABG on the booth is Baker Labels, one of its valued customers, who is sharing its expertise on pouches and flexible packaging, providing real-world insights and applications. 

Alongside the 12 solutions on show, ABG also has a team of experts on hand to discuss its RFID offerings, as well as provide in-depth knowledge on how its technology can add value and increase productivity for customers.  

Al Spendlow, ABG’s MD for North America, said: ‘Labelexpo Americas 2024 represents a fantastic opportunity for us to not only showcase our comprehensive range of solutions but also to engage directly with our customers. We are excited to demonstrate the innovations that have been driving our growth and success in the market.’ 

Looking ahead, ABG will be holding an open house event at its facility in Elgin in 2025. This event will feature a large new demo space, offering an exclusive look at the latest advancements and innovations from ABG. Further details to follow later in the year.
