Albéa, the world's largest
manufacturer of laminate tubes for cosmetics and oral care packaging, has
further invested in Nilpeter technology with the acquisition of new FA-presses
for company sites in India, Brazil, and Poland. Most have already been
installed, with installation on going in Brazil. The collaboration between the
two market leading companies dates back to 2008 when Albéa, through their former
UK division, Betts Group, acquired two original FA-4 flexo presses for
locations in India and Indonesia.
A Comprehensive Vetting Process
Interested in adding new
technology, the Albéa head office in France reached out to Nilpeter once again,
and after a comprehensive vetting process with testing, trials, and visits with
competing suppliers, chose Nilpeter’s All New FA to be installed in India,
Poland, and Brazil. In addition to the advanced technology of the new FA, the
high ease of use, and impressive press performance with tough laminate tube
materials, Albéa emphasized Nilpeter’s global support setup, worldwide reach,
and 24/7 hotline for troubleshooting and live technical assistance. The new
FA-presses will be put to good use in the fields of laminate tubes for oral
care packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other various personal care
applications.
Learning and Growing Together
“In short, we are delighted to
continue the close working relationship we have developed with Albéa over the
years. It is truly mutually beneficial – working together, learning from each
other – gaining and improving in laminate tubes, and growing together through
the process. And the potential for more is evident. We cherish the
collaboration and look forward to many years of mutual success,” says John
Hammond, Sales, Nilpeter UK Ltd.
Built Around the Modern Print Operator
The new FA is the most versatile
flexo press on the market – designed to accommodate the printer’s ever-growing
needs, and built around the modern print operator, with an intuitive user
interface and fully mobile print controls. A benchmark of flexibility and
modularity, the FA allows printers to enhance the performance of their press
with Value-Adding Units, Application and Automation Packages, according to
application needs and budget. Future customisations are often done with a
simple press of a button. All main components are produced in-house, meaning
higher production quality and control. Nilpeter’s LEAN production flow and
uniform facilities in Denmark and the US assure delivery worldwide. Albéa’s new
FA-presses are prepared for the addition of digital printing stations, which
will allow them to print variable data in the future. Furthermore, Nilpeter has
developed a zero waste/defects solution to ensure Albéa meets market quality
requirements.
