Cartes Srl Italy has announced the opening of a new North American facility, which is located in Red Bank, NJ, USA. This expansion in North America gives Cartes the ability to offer its product line to a wider customer base without sacrificing service and support.

Cartes USA Inc. began its operations on January 1, 2020, in collaboration with a new partner company, Diversified Graphic Machinery.

“By affiliating with Diversified Graphic Machinery, Cartes USA is able to hit the ground running in North America by providing service, spare parts and technical support to our existing and future North American customers,” says Mario Lodi, chairman of Cartes.

Cartes has been designing, engineering and manufacturing label machinery for the past 50 years, offering a wide range of modular label machines. Various configurations include hot foil stamping, flat bed silk-screen printing, UV flexo printing and varnishing, cold foil, UV cast and cure, flat-bed diecutting and embossing units. Plus, Cartes’ patented semi-rotary diecutting and Laser Technology units for diecutting and label converting are also available.

“Along with DGM, Cartes USA will be able to deliver on promises that are fundamental to our goal of being a credible and reliable partner for your business,” adds Lodi.

“Cartes recognizes the importance of the North American label manufacturing market,” explains Virgilio Micale, sales director of Cartes USA. “I look forward to meeting with companies all across America to understand their individual product requirements. I want to work together with customers to study their projects and offer new cost savings solutions that utilize our technology. We introduced our laser diecutting technology to the market over 21 years ago, and we have installed over 300 machines in 45 different countries around the world. We have pioneered laser technology for diecutting of self-adhesive labels, and we are very proud to be the innovators of this technology.”

In detailing the partnership, Michael DeBard, president of Diversified Graphic Machinery, says, “It’s wonderful to partner with a company like Cartes because they are committed to continually investing the required resources to advance the technology for embellished labels to the next level. We look forward to working together with Cartes USA, as together we can bring our clients the most innovative, cost-effective label machinery solutions that are backed by a company that is willing and capable to stand behind it.”
