Heidelberg supports Mexican carton printer’s growth

Mexican folding carton printer Cartograf has purchased a pair of Heidelberg presses as its looks to cement its position in the South American market.

 

Cartograf mainly produces high-quality folding cartons for the tobacco, food, and consumer goods industries.

 

It opened a new 50,000 sq ft plant in 2012, and is already planning to expand it to 180,000 sq ft. Further, it plans to open a paper mill in support of its printing operations.

 

This has been supplemented by the decision to invest in a Speedmaster XL 162 very large format press, and a Speedmaster CX 102 from Heidelberg.

 

Cartograf founder Juan José Paramo said: ‘Heidelberg offers multiple benefits: long tradition, good service, high local service part availability, great customer support, the best components and superior mechatronical production. I know that with Heidelberg my company is built on a firm foundation.’

 

André Schneider, general director of Heidelberg Mexico said: ‘The investment decision of Cartograf strengthens the development of packaging print in Mexico and simultaneously underlines the leading position of Heidelberg in both commercial and packaging printing in this market.’
