May 1, 2019 will be a special day at Nilpeter
Headquarters in Slagelse, Denmark, as the company celebrates its 100th
anniversary. Founded by two old friends in 1919, Nilpeter started out servicing
newspaper printing machines in central Copenhagen, before launching its first
semi-rotary printing press, The Simplex, in 1924, which in various versions
remained part of the company’s product range until the 70s. With the
introduction of the self-adhesive substrate, Nilpeter targeted its business
towards the label market, and the rest is history. To this day, Nilpeter
remains family-owned and -managed, with Lars Eriksen and Peter Eriksen, father
and son, and the 3rd and 4th generation of owners, leading the company towards
new historical milestones.
Global
Manufacturing and Customer Care
Today, Nilpeter manufactures printing presses for
labels and flexible packaging on three continents: Europe, North America, and
Asia. Consistent quality is a key driver, achieved through in-house
manufacturing of all vital components, high levels of automation, and
comprehensive quality control.
Nilpeter has a number of subsidiaries, which
supports the company’s global Customer Care strategy to deliver a high level of
customer support to both the local and the multinational printing companies.
Clean Design
Lines
The Nilpeter press design has always been easily
recognisable. The Danish tradition for clean design lines mixed with a high
level of functionality is a constant priority in the development phase, and is
evident in today’s product lines. Nilpeter’s developments in press design cater
to a new generation of machine operators that requests a modern operator
interface and intuitive handling.
Technology
on Display
The 5 modern Technology Centers located in Denmark,
USA, Thailand, India, and Brasil have the latest Nilpeter products on display
and provide the perfect scene for engaging with printers. Moreover,
co-suppliers and industry partners utilise the facilities to test new
technology trends in a local setting.
A Strong
Vision for the Future
Throughout the years, Nilpeter has pushed the
boundaries of technical excellence and created many significant innovations
that have shaped the label printing industry – innovations, such as UV-flexo
printing, drop-in rotary screen printing, and the first true platform-based offset
press. Today, Nilpeter is a healthy company with a strong vision for the
future.
Quote Lars
Eriksen, President & CEO, Nilpeter A/S:
“The Nilpeter brand is positioned stronger than
ever due to years of important partnerships and product innovations. We value
partnerships – with customers, suppliers, and industry partners alike. We
strive to share our experience and work closely with leading technology
providers, in order to generate value with and for our customers. Inspired by
the latest technological trends, our skilled, intelligent workforce is
constantly developing and implementing new solutions, allowing us to remain a
driving, innovative force in the printing industry. While we benefit from 100
years of experience, we are not rooted in what has worked in the past, but
focused on what will work in the future. That is the essence of ...your
printing partner.”
A Yearlong
Celebration
Nilpeter looks forward to celebrating 100 YEARS OF
INNOVATION with employees, customers, partners, and suppliers, marking the
anniversary in various ways throughout the year.
