Xeikon announces that Telrol
Group, one of Europe's largest producers of labels, has commissioned a third
Xeikon 3300. The new machine is equipped with ICE toner. Telrol Group's head
office is in Almere in the Netherlands. Over the years, Telrol has grown into a
group of companies (Peha Labels, Biolabel, HACCP Label, LMG Ribbons, Kolibri
Labels en Q-Tronics) by means of suitable acquisitions. Telrol was partly taken
over in August by Hansol Paper, a conglomerate quoted on the stock exchange.
The group, with a turnover of 150 million euros, continues to be run by its
joint owner and CEO Hoessein Hadaoui.
Telrol produces a broad range of
labels for various sectors, such as food, retail, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household
and personal care, logistics and chemicals. The group has more than 70 printing
presses and finishing machines. Its state-of-the-art machines consist of
equipment for digital, flexographic, screen, offset, book and rotogravure
printing, among others. Telrol serves its clients throughout Europe from
various distribution centers in different countries.
The company installed its first
Xeikon 3300 press, equipped with QA-I toner, in 2009. A second one followed in
2011. A decisive factor in choosing these machines was that QA-I toner, just
like ICE toner, is suitable for food packaging applications according to FDA
standards and also meets European packaging standards. A major part of Telrol's
turnover comes from labels that are used in the food sector.
Hoessein Hadaoui explains why
Telrol has bought a third Xeikon press: "We are very satisfied with the performance
of the Xeikon 3300 machines. We have therefore started a process for installing
Xeikon digital printing presses. With the installation of the third machine,
which is equipped with ICE toner, we have additional capabilities in comparison
with QA-I toner for expanding our use of Xeikon technology in other locations
in our group."
“That a leading company such as
Telrol, the benchmark in Europe, has chosen Xeikon for the third time in a row,
shows that our solutions satisfy the needs of this market", says Filip
Weymans, Xeikon's Director of Segment Marketing Labels & Packaging. "This
also confirms that we have made the right choices so far, and that motivates us
to raise the bar even higher."
