Schawk Nuremberg receives FlexoExpert certification

Schawk is a full-service partner in the packaging industry. Originally focused on the production of rubber plates for flexible packaging, today’s customers are offered a full-service package that includes design and repro, to printing forms.

During a six-month process consisting of three main steps – evaluation and training, implementation, and auditing – the FlexoExpert certification program provides a means for plate makers to further optimize their workflow processes.

With the guidance of a Flint Group expert, Schawk Nuremberg implemented the program and passed the final audit to earn FlexoExpert certification for its platemaking processes and, in so doing, became the second site within the Schawk network, after Jülich, to receive the certification. All of Schawk’s global sites are expected to follow Schawk Nuremberg and Jülich in participating in the FlexoExpert certification program as the company seeks to achieve a global standard and comparison.

Frank Brief, customer service team manager at Schawk Nuremberg, said: ‘Fuelled and enriched by the discussions with Flint Group experts, our participation in the FlexoExpert certification program offered the opportunity to challenge and enrich our understanding of quality even further.

‘The combination of a high level of expertise, along with in-depth analytical understanding, made our participation a valuable exercise which will allow us to continue providing outstanding quality for our customers.’
