WallVision placed this order for its newest Xeikon wall covering solution at Heimtextil 2017.

 

The Xeikon 3500 joins a Xeikon 8000 and will support production with a wider choice in substrates, opening new opportunities for the company and its customers.

 

WallVision designs, manufactures and sells high-quality wallpapers across the globe through four strong brands. Founded in 1905, the Swedish operation’s vision is to become the leading international supplier within the premium segment for wallpapers. Today, it employs 190 people and has a turnover of €60 million.

 

Its parent company, WA Wallvision AB, is owned by Litorina Coinvest L.P., and the group has centralized its production in Borås. The factory combines traditional production techniques with new manufacturing methods, including digital printing.

 

WallVision already operates a Xeikon 8000 and was looking to increase capacity, improve competitiveness and expand the variety of substrates it can offer its customers to support a wider range of products. The Xeikon 3500 was an ideal fit for the expansion of its manufacturing capacity.

 

“There is no alternative to high-end digital wallpaper manufacturing,” said Fredrik Larsson, plant manager. “Xeikon is the only supplier that offers a high level of productivity combined with low running costs. It’s the ideal digital wall covering solution.”

 

The Xeikon 3500 prints up to 600 m²/hr in five colors. The fifth color station can be used to apply special colors and effects for stunning wallpaper designs.
