Multitec, the leading Indian narrow web label press manufacturer who has been showing running presses at Labelexpo for the past two decades will again be there running its S2 dual servo narrow web flexo press at the show. Multitec has more than 500 flexo presses in operation all over the world with service and support in key markets. The press at the show in Brussels will then be shipped for installation at customer Swiss QP Holding group’s Budapest plant in Hungary.
Amit Ahuja, CEO of Multitec, expects renewed interest after the uncertain period of Covid. “A lot has changed in the label landscape in terms of markets that can be addressed and utilization of the machines for products other than just PS labels, and we hope to address these issues at this show. Our S2 8 color press in 450mm width is a dual servo press with auto-register capability that provides excellent results on even the most difficult of materials and will be going to our customer in Hungary. We also have further four orders for their plants in Switzerland, Germany and Poland,” he said.
About Labelexpo Europe, Ahuja said, “I think it is a must-attend show to see the latest trends and technologies and should help converters find products and processes with value addition. Labels are slowly becoming a commodity business. So until there is something extra offered by the converter, they will always be in the pricing trap.”
Swiss QP Holding buys four Multitec narrow-web flexo presses
As we reported a couple of months ago, QP Holding, the Swiss group with multiple print houses across Europe, has ordered several Multitec dual servo S2 8-color narrow web flexo label presses from the Faridabad-based Indian manufacturer Multitec. The first press, an S2 8-color, will be displayed by Multitec at its stand during LabelExpo Brussels and then installed at the Swiss group’s plant in Budapest, Hungary.
QP Holding has over 400 employees and operates in the label, carton, and packaging market. The S2’s sale to the Swiss group demonstrates Multitec’s firm commitment to the European market and its firm entry into that market. Agreements for three more presses for the group’s Swiss, German, and Hungarian facilities are in place and will be shipped within the next 12 months.
QP Holding performed an in-depth due diligence with extensive testing on the Multitec equipment. QP Holding’s owner C Wey, said, “We find that Multitec’s presses are ready for the European market in terms of quality and automation, and present an excellent value for money. We were searching for a reliable partner and I think we found that in Multitec.”
