The new company continues to offer the Conic product lines and establishes manufacturing, engineering, sales, and service for Nireco products in North America. Plans for the new company include an expanded manufacturing facility in the NY metropolitan area as well as a demo and training center.

Nireco America's complete product line includes tension controls, gearboxes, color register controls, cut-off register controls, gluing systems, brakes, overprint systems, video monitors, splice detectors, and edge guides.

The new company is based out of Port Jervis, NY where it offers training, testing and demonstration for the new BCON 2000CA 100% print inspection product line. Nireco America Corporation is introducing a new BCON 2000CA Automatic Print Defect Detection System designed specifically for label presses. (See next issue of Labels and Labeling for full story).
