Printeos Group has invested in a Durst Tau 330 RSC inkjet single-pass press as part of an effort to drive digitisation. The adhesive label producer has installed the machine at Adhesivos del Segura, a Spanish company it acquired three years ago.
Digital printing is a key part of the group’s medium to long term strategy for the label market, which is why Adhesivos del Segura was chosen to spearhead growth in Spain. The press itself was chosen because it supported the operation’s industrial, high volume approach.
‘Our first objective was to reach the capacity to digitalise at least 10% of Adhesivos del Segura’s production in the first year,’ explained Printeos’ label division manager Carlos Coll. ‘To achieve that goal, we needed high productivity systems. In addition, the demanding markets we work in require a heightened level of quality, and today not all inkjet solutions are able to offer that. Durst’s Tau RSC systems stayed ahead of the competitors’ proposals and were the only ones that could meet both requirements simultaneously.
‘The future is going to be more and more competitive. The label sector will continue to see between 4% and 6% growth. Printeos Group has ambitious objectives and we expect growth at respectable rates, but we know to get it we will have to do our best and be prepared to satisfy any new requirements demanded by customers in the future.’
