The company is part of Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co. Ltd. - one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of system components for the prepress and printing industries.
Nilpeter’s Chairman John Kejlhof gave comments about how Japan is Asia’s largest market for their narrow web printing machines, and as a result how valued the relationship with Media Technology is.
The large number of executives and leaders of the Japanese printing industry who also attended viewed the introduction of a Nilpeter Rotary FA-4 Flexo printing press with a presentation by Nilpeter’s Asia Pacific Director Kim Sustmann.
The FA-4 Flexo narrow web machine represents the most sophisticated and advanced process available. Kim Sustmann explained how modern combination printing now consists of a mix of offset, flexo, silk screen, gravure, letterpress, foiling, embossing and not the least converting – all in one process and one operation.
Flexo is generating the most interest in a market formally dominated by offset and letterpress. To the delight of the visiting executives, it was disclosed many of the parts were from Japanese sources.
