Comexi technological centre continues to grow
The Manel Xifra Boada Technological Center, Comexi CTec, maintains its line of growth, as is visible in the results of 2019, which showed a contracting increase of more than 15%, particularly in reference to all its service areas, including the project implementation of a full plant conversion and training courses. Noteworthy, is the exceptionally significant increase of attendees, in courses held at Comexi as well as those conducted at the facilities of customers.

Last year, CTec, a specialist in advice and technical services for the impression and conversion of the flexible packaging industry, exceeded, for the first time since its creation, over 200 participants in training courses at its Riudellots de la Selva (Girona) facility; the total number of participants was 208 for 2019. Furthermore, the technological centre has seen participation in technical and advanced training courses increase, with the enrolment of 177 students, the highest number of participants since being offered in 2010.
“Since 2018, we have maintained, with high added value, the manner in which we conduct specialised training and demonstrations," said Albert López, head of the technological centre, who assuredly values the increase of clients who have trained at CTec as those who have participated in one of the personalised formations, which was more than 30. The number of companies relocated to Riudellots de la Selva, in order to participate in exclusive sessions also increased.
Serviflex, the advisory and training service that Comexi CTec performs at the facility of a client, increased in number by 16 during 2019, reaching 57 since the company began offering this service. In regard to industrial demonstrations and tests, during the second half of last year there was a considerable increase in those dedicated to offset technology; in 2019 there were 255.
One of the principal novelties of 2019 was the turnkey project, through which constant advice is offered to the client from the beginning of the process, and culminates when both parties achieve the desired result. “At CTec, we support customers from the moment they acquire the project to the final productivity phase, offering customers permanent training,” summarised López.
The project begins with the definition and implementation of a new business model, continues with the definition of the action planning programme, the monitoring of the business implementation phases, and culminates with the analysis and monitoring of results, in reference to production.
The employees of the customer receive training both at the beginning and throughout the process.
The primary innovations to Comexi CTec training courses for 2020 include a pre-press course, offered in July, and an additional laser slitting operational course, offered in October.
