Press Retrofits—One way to seal the deal!

“Retrofitting makes sense for most customers in order to enhance their existing capability for higher production, updating the equipment with the latest design features, and especially to add more capability to get into new markets,” says Teeter.

“I believe we are at a point in the life cycle of the label converting industry where keeping alive a 25-year-old press through retrofitting may not be in the best interest of the converter and [its] customer,” says McGee. “Retrofitting to a newer model label press can make all the sense in the world, but only after a thorough look to ensure it meets technical and financial sense rules.”
