Proteus Packaging Purchases First Heidelberg VLF Press In North America

KENNESAW, Ga.—Proteus Packaging has become the first U.S. company to purchase Heidelberg’s new Speedmaster XL 145 press—one of two very large format (VLF) press models Heidelberg unveiled at drupa 2008.

The Franklin, Wis.-based folding carton producer chose the 6-color Speedmaster XL 145 press with inline aqueous coater to upgrade its pressroom and keep the company competitive in a challenging marketplace. The new machine will be the first VLF press from Heidelberg installed in North America.
