Smyth Companies Invests in Mitsubishi Press
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.—Smyth Companies has purchased a Mitsubishi Diamond 3000LX sheetfed press to accelerate job turnarounds at its Bedford, Va. plant. The press is scheduled for installation in the third quarter.
The press is the third 8-color, 40-inch model Smyth Companies has purchased from Mitsubishi. The Diamond 3000LX can accommodate the wide range of paper and specialty nonporous substrates used at the Bedford facility, including C1S and C2S label stock, paperboard, and polypropylene. Smyth Bedford emphasizes glue-applied paper and film labels and in-mold labels. Its cut-and-stack labels are applied to cans, jars, and bottles, while its in-mold labels are found on injection-molded food containers and lids.
