PrintPack 2017: Manroland to showcase its diverse product portfolio

According to Rekha Bhardwaj of Manroland Web Systems, Manroland has sets a new benchmark for webfed printing presses featuring the latest in automation and technology for the growing packaging printing industry. Depending on applications ranging from board to foil printing, an optimised arrangement of presses with offset, flexo and gravure printing units in hybrid configuration is available. “The established PECOM-X drive, operation and workflow management system is the basis for combining various components from Manroland Web Systems to form a one-system solution,” she said.

Bhardwaj added that Manroland’s longstanding experience in highly automated offset printing offers its clients in the packaging sector new possibilities for staying competitive and allows them to react to the increasing demands of the market. “The most modern Manroland web systems pre-setting, regulating and control systems enable waste reduction of double digit figures. Industry 4.0 is reality in the new packaging printing press from day one,” Bhardwaj said, “Our Cromoman 4x1 has also been designed for the Indian conditions.”

Since PrintPack 2015, the company has added another Cromoman 4x1 to the Indian newspaper industry. “We have extended our reach to book printers and publishers for the digital finishing products. Press consumables for the newspaper industry is being focused upon. We have joined hands with Novexx Solutions to cater to the label market. We have extended our portfolio by introducing our quality boosting retrofits and upgrades to the non-manroland presses as well. Lately, we have entered into packaging printing,” she said.
