Luminer Enhances Short-run Capabilities with Digital Inkjet Printing

Sticky roots

Luminer Converting came into being in 1989 through a partnership of two high school friends, Borrelli and Tom Spina, now the company's president. Spina had been part-owner of Web-Cote Industries, a small hot-melt pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) coating company. He saw the opportunities presented by integrating narrow-web flexographic printing and converting with hot-melt adhesive coating to create a variety of products. Selling his stake in Web-Cote to his partners, Spina began a new venture with Borrelli.
