Sttark drives innovation and growth with Grafotronic DCL system

Sttark, one of the leading label converters based in South Carolina, has expanded its production capabilities with the acquisition of a DCL (Digital Converting Line) system and auxiliary equipment from Grafotronic.

Sttark serves a diverse clientele, with 75 percent of its customers being small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). This latest investment continues the company's strategy of keeping operations organized and lean while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in label production.

Grafotronic DCL digital converting line has been designed for high-speed, high-precision label production, allowing for extensive customization. This makes it a perfect match for Sttark's mission to continuously innovate and exceed customer expectations. The DCL system is designed to be fully upgradeable and customizable, allowing Sttark to maintain its lean manufacturing processes while optimizing productivity.

Tim McCurry, director of labels at Sttark, commented: ‘It was amazing to see and feel how open the Grafotronic team was to work with us on modifications. All other suppliers wouldn't let us do that. The teamwork and open approach from day one has been refreshing and intense, and we immediately knew that Grafotronic was the right partner for us.

‘This year has been a great year for us. The match between Sttark and Grafotronic is perfect—two innovative parties working together to deliver outstanding results. We’re excited to see what the future holds with the new DCL system in place.’
