Grupo Flexográfico, a label converter based in León, Mexico, recently visited Nilpeter’s production facility in Slagelse, Denmark, to complete the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for its new FA-17. The test was successfully completed, and the press is soon ready for shipment to Grupo Flexográfico’s site in León. Here, the new flexo press will join a long line of other Nilpeter machines, further strengthening Grupo Flexográfico’s production capabilities.

The company is established as a strong player in the label market, especially within premium labels for tequila, which will be the main application for the new FA-17. The press is configured with eight printing units, a Pantec embellishment unit, GEW drying technology, and the advanced automation features that define Nilpeter’s FA-Line. Comprehensive training will be provided after installation to ensure a smooth transition into production.

In addition to the new FA-Line, Grupo Flexográfico also has a new FB-Line scheduled for delivery later this year.

Nilpeter is well-established in the Mexican market, with more than 600 presses installed nationwide. The upcoming Labelexpo Mexico in Guadalajara will serve as a showcase for Nilpeter and provide an excellent opportunity for customers and visitors to see the latest advancements in flexo printing.

Nils Evers, Nilpeter’s general manager, Latin America, comments on the successful collaboration with Grupo Flexográfico, saying, “We truly appreciate the great collaboration we have with Grupo Flexográfico, and it is always a pleasure to support their growth with our latest flexo solutions. The successful FAT of their new FA-17 press is another milestone in our partnership. At the same time, the Mexican market remains highly important for Nilpeter, with more than 600 of our presses installed across the country. Labelexpo Mexico is a great opportunity for printers to explore our latest solutions first-hand and see how Nilpeter continues to push the boundaries of flexo printing technology.”
