“At Nilpeter, we are honored to continue our long-standing partnership with NextGen Label Group and congratulate the entire team on their investment in the FA-22 – our flagship flexo press,” says Lenny DeGirolmo, president, Nilpeter USA. “This installation is not only a reflection of the trust built over decades, but also a strong signal of where the industry is heading: toward innovation, freedom of choice, and true value for converters. In times when external pressures attempt to limit options in the American market, it is refreshing to see forward-thinking companies like NextGen Label Group make decisions based on performance, efficiency, and long-term vision rather than artificial constraints. We are proud to stand alongside them on that journey.”
