Romanian converter installs second Nuova Gidue M5 Digital Flexo press

Based in Bucharest, Romprix specializes in the production of self-adhesive labels for multiple markets using flexo and digital technology.

The converter installed its first M5 Digital Flexo, a 370mm-wide press, in 2013 and, has seen a positive impact on its business, took the decision last year to invest again in Nuova Gidue technology.

The first M5 Digital Flexo installed by Romprix is equipped with eight UV flexo print units, two die-cutting stations and the advanced Print Tutor HD camera technology on each print unit. This technology checks the color consistency of each printed label and self-adjusts print pressure, density and print register thanks to the use of seven servo-driven motors on each unit. As a result, machine set-up is fully automated, and print quality is monitored and adjusted at any manufacturing speed, across a full range of substrates.

The second machine has the same configuration as the first, plus the addition of QN3 technology that will enable it to produce also three-layer coupon labels in-line.

Romprix director Cristian Dobrota said: ‘We share a common mission that is the constant research of advanced technologies that can ensure high quality in production and service to all of our customers. We see quality products as the best form of respect for our customers. Now that we are working with Nuova Gidue technology, I’m happy to affirm that it is perfectly in line with our needs and that, thanks to its ease of operation, can let us better and faster face customers’ demands.’

Mihai Cobianu, director of Printman, Nuova Gidue’s certified distributor in Romania, said: ‘With this investment, Romprix is becoming one of the major players on the label market in Romania. For us this second installation is proof that the print quality and the entire set of innovations brought buy the Nuova Gidue M5 are the right choice for a successful label converter.’

Bobst recently signed an agreement to acquite two-thirds of Nuova Gidue, a takeover which is detailed here.
