Carminati S.r.l. has reaffirmed its confidence in XSYS’ plate processing technology with the installation of a second ThermoFlexX Catena Washer, Dryer, Light-Finisher, and Stacker (WDLS) in less than two years.
Operating mainly in the corrugated sector, Carminati is a leader in its field. Located in Antegnate, east of Milan in northern Italy, the progressive company makes flexographic printing plates for customers across Italy, into France and beyond. The plates are produced on two state-of-the-art lines at its 5,000 sqm modern plant, where 35 staff work tirelessly to maintain the company’s well-established reputation for high quality and excellent customer support.
In 2021, Carminati decided it was time to replace one of its outdated plate processing lines with a ThermoFlexX Catena-WDLS to ensure continued growth and enhance quality even further. The new equipment was installed by XSYS Italia at the end of that year. Less than two years later, a second Catena-WDLS has been introduced to upgrade the other processing line, giving the company a total capacity uplift of over 20%.
“Our old processing equipment had served us well, but it was time to upgrade to ensure we stay ahead of the curve. Not only do we serve our customers with the best plates for printing every day, but we also have an active R&D laboratory, allowing us to continue innovating and lead the way in flexo printing for corrugated boxes and flexible packaging,” said Carlo Carminati, CEO.
Carminati is known for its forward-looking strategy and keen interest in pushing the boundaries with the latest technology. “We successfully installed the very first Catena-WDLS in Italy not very long ago, and now we are the first in the world to have two. This impressive setup from XSYS means we are moving to Industry 4.0 level with higher automation, best-in-class quality, faster delivery, and more sustainable operation,” added Carminati.
