Following the announcement of the launch of its new ServoPro flexo rotary die-cutter to the global market, BW Papersystems has confirmed the sale of the first machine to a European corrugated packaging producer. Icierre Pack Srl, which is based in Cazzago San Martino near Brescia in northern Italy, has placed an order for a four colour ServoPro 16.28.
“We are delighted to confirm this first sale for Europe,” explains Marco Angeli, New Equipment Sales Leader, BW Papersystems. “This is a hugely significant order for several reasons. Luca Lazzaroni, owner of Icierre Pack is a well established customer of ours, as he is currently running three Curioni machines and this is testament to the ongoing relationship we hold together. But the most pleasing thing is that as a sign of the strength of our relationship, Mr Lazzaroni bought the machine without actually seeing it first hand. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we had to present the machine to the team from Icierre Pack by way of virtual demo and video presentation from our manufacturing facility in Hunt Valley, MD. Icierre Pack was satisfied with what they saw and placed the order with us.”
The four colour machine, which can be retrofitted with an additional flexo print unit for inside printing at a later date, is being shipped from the BW Papersystems manufacturing facility in the summer, ready for installation in August.
