Admiral Packaging Makes Seventh Purchase with Windmoeller & Hoelscher Corp.

LINCOLN, R.I.—Windmoeller & Hoelscher Corporation announced the sale of a 59” NOVOFLEX® CM 10-color flexo press to Admiral Packaging, Inc. (formerly Union Industries, Inc.) of Providence, R.I. The press will be shipped to the customer’s Providence facility in July 2007 for installation in August of next year. A long-standing W&H customer, Admiral Packaging purchased its first W&H press back in 1982. The NOVOFLEX® CM represents the company’s seventh investment in W&H equipment.

“We chose W&H based on our findings that the NOVOFLEX® press is superior in workmanship, technology and performance trials,” states Admiral Packaging President Harley Frank. “W&H has really made dramatic improvements over the past few years. The EASY-SET and EASY-REG options were big factors as was the superior quality, working knowledge, and our belief that W&H stands behind their product. W&H is committed to providing a product that will put us in position to get a good return on our investment.”

“We invested in this new equipment so we could continue our leadership role of supplying the highest quality flexible packaging to our customers. The 10-color press will supplement our present 6- and 8-color W&H presses. Having this new press on line will definitely benefit efficiencies and flexibility to keep us competitive with a domestic and import market, while providing the best product available.”

The 59” NOVOFLEX® CM sold to Admiral Packaging, Inc. features 10-color decks with a maximum printing width of 57” (1450 mm) and a repeat range of 15.75” – 34.5” (400 – 880 mm). The press is equipped with W&H’s latest generation TURBOCLEAN® 600 A inking and automatic wash-up system. Also featured is W&H’s EASY-SET fully automatic impression setting system and the newly introduced EASY-REG system for fast, automatic register adjustment of printing decks.
