Teraoka Acquires a Second ETI Cohesio

For Teraoka, the savings on PS material made during the previous year, as well as the reliability of the ETI equipment, more than justify such an investment. The purchase of a second machine confirms the South African company’s success in manufacturing PS stock in-house with the ETI technology.

The vertical integration of the PS manufacturing operation at label printer’s houses is the vision of Francois Bayzelon, president of ETI Converting Equipment. Frank Smart, CEO of Teraoka, and Albe Naude, managing director, are both sharing this vision to achieve cost reduction objectives. All of them are convinced that this vision represents the future of the pressure sensitive label market.
