•  Open house shows first Latin American installation of Gallus ECS 340
  

The company C5 Design hosted an open house at its facility in Tultitlán on the outskirts of Mexico City on the day after the Label Summit Latin America in May 2010. Around 40 people saw demonstrations of the Gallus ECS 340 granite press, the first installation of the machine in Latin America.

The installation of the Gallus ECS 340, says general director Jorge Gonzalez, coupled with in-house design and pre-press departments, will help the company to turn a job around in just eight hours from label design, plate-making and the printing of the job. The speed of the press is a key element of this. “The machine also helps us to produce products that we previously were not able to, such as fragrance varnishes which are applied on the press.” Read the full press release...

• From the Gallus stand at Labelexpo, the new Gallus ECS 340 went straight into production at bsb-label

For bsb-label, the new Gallus ECS 340 came onto the market at just the right time. The company had already spent some time searching for the right press to help it gain a foothold in the flexographic printing sector. For shareholder and Managing Director Brigitte Alers, a key criterion in comparing possible alternatives was that the total investment in a new press complete with cutting-edge technology should ultimately only be marginally higher than that involved in purchasing a remarketed model. In order to fulfil bsb-label's core requirements, a remarketed model would have had to be retrofitted with a number of new parts.

Looking back, Brigitte Alers is pleased that they opted for flexographic printing and for the Gallus ECS 340: “For bsb-label, this was definitely the right press at the right time.” More...
