Print Solutions
Following the merger with Trelleborg’s former printing technology business, Continental is taking the stage at the drupa as a true global player offering a comprehensive product portfolio for all offset, flexographic and digital printing requirements.
The technology company can be found on stand C40 in hall 4. There it will be exhibiting its eight brands, whose various technical specialties cover all the market’s needs in the printing and packaging business.
‘drupa gives us an opportunity to present our new organisation to both existing and potential new customers and inform them about the new options on offer,’ explained Marco Carlini, head of printing and packaging for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). ‘We are now able to offer the full spectrum of printing technology from a single source – and we can do so around the globe, too, thanks to our global footprint with manufacturing sites in Brazil and China.’
The increased proximity to customers worldwide does more than just improve local service. Continental also makes use of its vast network to manufacture solutions that are tailored to specific regional requirements. The Chinese plant, for example, develops products for the Asian market, in keeping with the guiding principle of ‘in the market for the market’.
Show visitors will be able to experience the full strength of Continental’s enlarged printing and packaging unit for themselves. Marco Carlini said, ‘Our main focus will continue to be the packaging market. We will carry on and, indeed, step up our global activities in the UV printing market. In addition, we will increasingly invest in coating plates to keep up with the growing global demand.’ He also says that Continental will offer more add on solutions for flexographic printing in order to tap into the full potential of sleeves and plates in future.
