Bobst Group and SEI Laser are accelerating the development of digital laser cutting solutions for the label and packaging industry.
The new activity will develop and commercialize worldwide digital laser cutting solutions for the labels, flexible packaging, folding carton and corrugated board industries.
Once all required approvals will have been obtained, Bobst Group will provide more information, continuing to shape the future of the packaging world.
BOBST also announces the acquisition of the remaining 49.9% in Mouvent AG to reinforce the development of its printing portfolio.
BOBST acquired 50.1% of RADEX in June 2017 to develop Mouvent AG, a start-up company focusing on digital inkjet printing.
The intent was to explore and deliver the next innovations to transform packaging production.
The work accomplished over the last three years has been very fruitful and positive.
Mouvent’s innovative cluster technology has been deployed in the Mouvent LB-701, LB-702 and the BOBST MASTER DM5 presses. Despite COVID-19, more than 20 presses have been sold in Europe and the USA during 2020.
With this acquisition, BOBST is poised to further accelerate its leadership in printing and converting. New digital inkjet platforms and new water-based inks will soon be announced, answering the sustainability requirements and shaping the future of the packaging world.
