On the Gallus stand at Labelexpo, Dario Urbinati spoke about the company’s modular concept, giving it the ability to configure and integrate technologies from its approximately twenty partners. Two new presses were announced, firstly, the Gallus Five, a high-performance hybrid press, integrating digital flexibility with industrial-level productivity that is available for order but will be delivered in six months. It was shown on the stand with a Kurz inline foiler.
This is likely to be an interesting press for Indian converters who are keen to differentiate their offerings with inline decoration capabilities together with high-volume throughput of complex and short-run jobs, after it is tested amongst early adopters in Europe and made available in this market.
The second new machine is the Gallus Alpha, a compact digital-only press for entrants into digital label production. The Alpha is also available to configure and order, with delivery anticipated in a three-month timeframe. Experience indicates that as the first press is going into a beta site, the Alpha could take as long as three or four quarters before it reaches South Asian shores, but it looks like an interesting press for a high-quality entry into digital labels.
While the two new presses demonstrated at the Gallus stand will take considerable time to reach Indian converters, the company has several Labelmaster press orders on hand, and some interesting news that we hope to share with our readers in detail in the coming days.
