Interpress Printers (IPP), is a decade old company focused on the printing of fast-food packaging and operates from headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
To accommodate a flood of new business, production capacity is now being expanded at new premises in the Malaysian capital. After a series of visits to companies in Europe, IPP decided to invest in an ultramodern flexo printing line from KBA-Flexotecnica, a subsidiary of Koenig & Bauer AG.
“We are convinced that Koenig & Bauer is the ideal partner to answer our high demands. The outstanding technology of the EVO XD will enable us to define new yardsticks for the packaging sector,” said Ratha Kerisnan, managing director of Interpress Printers.
The press is scheduled to come on stream at the new production site by the end of the year.
Interpress Printers counts almost 200 employees.
The company produces for customers in both Malaysia and other Asian countries. IPP is furthermore a member of the International Packaging Group, a global alliance of leading companies from the field of packaging printing.
With annual growth rates of 4-5%, flexible packaging – today a strong domain of flexo printing – is the fastest growing packaging segment.
“This project is solid proof that we have arrived on the Asian market. The next step is now to further strengthen our local presence. Our quality and our local service capabilities as a globally active press manufacturer will benefit not only IPP itself, but also its customers,” said Christoph Müller, CEO for KBA-Digital & Web and KBA-Flexotecnica.
The modern CI flexo web presses of the EVO and NEO series are designed and manufactured at KBA-Flexotecnica near Milan, Italy. The EVO XD for IPP, with its eight printing units, a new dryer generation and a newly developed coating unit, has been engineered for ultimate quality on the most varied materials.
The technical highlights include a highly efficient energy-saving ventilation system in the bridge dryer, the fully automatic impression control system A.I.F. (Auto Impression Flexotecnica) and the operator-friendly register setting system A.R.F. (Automatic Register Flexotecnica) as the key to minimum start-up waste. All important automation and control functions are integrated into the new touchscreen and enable intuitive operation. With regard to automation serving fast job changeovers, the EVO XD can be considered the latest state of the art.
