SCEA Invests in BOBST Gravure Technology

SCEA, an Italian flexible packaging production company established in 1977, began a rapid expansion recording annual double-digit growth from the year 2000. This meant SCEA needed to relocate to a larger production facility in Zevio, near Verona, in 2008 in order to accommodate the increasing number of production lines required to match its continuously expanding capacity requirements in gravure and flexo printing, lamination, slitting-rewinding and thermoforming.
 
SCEA’s production serves primarily the food packaging, label and disposable plates and trays market sectors, supplying very large customer bases in both domestic and export markets averaging 3,000 tons of goods per year.
 
To upgrade the performance of the gravure department and gain the cost savings and productivity benefits of today’s latest technology and equipment, SCEA installed a 10-color BOBST RS 4003MP gravure printing line at the end of 2016. IT delivers rapid changeover ability and can process a wide range of packaging films at high production speed. Six months into production, BOBST gravure technology is proving a perfect fit to SCEA’s requirements.
