Monday 27. January 2020 - Skanem Stavanger, Norways largest producer of self-adhesive labels, has acquired a new 9-colour FA-22 from Nilpeter. In addition to providing maximum levels of stability and excellent printing results on multiple substrates, the FA-22 is a perfect fit for Skanems commitment to sustainability, renewable products, and reusable materials.
Ambitious Sustainability Goals
“We are fully committed to creating renewable products, from labels to wrap-arounds, and many other flexible packaging solutions, with a key focus on reusable materials. We work side-by-side with customers on various development projects to help them reach ambitious sustainability goals. With customers from a broad range of industries, and in many different countries, we have gained unique insight and experience that can be applied across the Skanem Group as a whole,” Eirik Bergh, Managing Director of Skanem Stavanger, begins.
“The partnership with Nilpeter is no different – in addition to the high print quality, intuitive user interface, and value-added possibilities, the new FA-22 is built with a clear focus on limiting waste, lowering power consumption, and reducing emissions. This press fits perfectly with what were trying to achieve here at Skanem,” Eirik Bergh concludes.
