Trioplast Nyborg is investing in an Evo XG 8 LR for the printing of polyethylene films for industrial packaging. This tailor-made flexo printing press with its maximum repeat length of 1,400mm (55.1in) and a maximum printing width of 1,650mm (65in) delivers high-quality results on wide webs. It has been configured to handle large print jobs for industrial packaging applications and is scheduled to start production in the second quarter of 2021.

Håkan Rundén, sales and service director for Koenig & Bauer DK: “This was a great team effort. The colleagues from Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica supported us perfectly throughout the consulting process and implemented all special customer requirements.” “After the unrivalled printing results achieved on the Evo XG press in Italy, we are delighted that Trioplast continues to view Koenig & Bauer as a reliable partner and plans to realise future growth together with us,” adds Luigi Magliocchi, CEO of Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica. Oskar Karlsson, chief procurement officer at Trioplast, is equally proud: “This stack-type flexo press replaces three of our older presses.” A further, even larger press – an Evo XG 10 LR – is to be ordered in 2021. The Evo XG series is a family of highly automated CI flexo presses for the efficient processing of a wide range of films, papers and cardboards at production speeds up to 600m/min (1,968ft/min). Trioplast Nyborg is part of the Trioplast Group, an industrial group with just over 1,200 employees and a turnover of €540m ($586m). The group is one of the leading European players in innovative and cost-efficient packaging solutions based on polyethylene film. It operates production facilities in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and France, and sells its products on a global market. The main owner of Trioplast is Altor Funds.
