Weyerhaeuser’s Flexo Printing Facilities Streamline Plate Mounting

“We were looking for increased throughput and improved quality in our mounting area because of the constraints that mounting was having on our printing presses,” says Harry Matthews, superintendent of the Weyerhaeuser pre-print plant in Tucker, Georgia. “We are challenged with shorter lead times, smaller order quantities, and tighter registration, and we felt that the Leader Vision system could address all of these issues at the same time. We purchased one of these mounters back in 2005. Initially, we looked at the machine because our Hillsborough sister-plant in Oregon had been using the same machine for about three years and done real well with it.”
