Muscling Forward
Long-term strength in flexibility
While Bema's extreme job-shop culture gained critical long-term heft with the purchase of the Windmoeller & Hoelscher MIRAFLEX, Galloway maintains that the firm's ongoing commitment to investments in equipment for flexibility will remain strong across the full breadth of its operations. For instance, in its digital prepress department, where a recent installation of a DuPont Fast System has already helped reduce lead times and improve print quality, Bema is now introducing HD flexo plate technologies that cost-effectively enhance these benefits. In addition, Bema's expectations for continued growth in pouch manufacturing volume have given rise to plans for a third Karlville Development Group pouch machine installation toward the end of 2011.
