With six productions sites across northern Europe, Nordvalls Etikett is one of Scandinavia\u2019s leading supplier of labels.\u00a0 To improve production efficiency, it has consistently chosen Martin Automatic unwind\/splice technology for its printing presses.<\/p>\n
Established back in 1907 by Victor Hugo Olsson, Nordvalls now employs more than 350 people at its production facilities in Sj\u00f6bo, Bjuv, and M\u00f6lnlycke in Sweden and at Trondheim in Norway.\u00a0 In addition, Watermill Press in Bradford, UK and K\u00f6lle Etiketten in Esslingen, Germany are constituents of Nordvalls, which itself has been part of the German Possehl Group since 2017.\u00a0 Altogether, the Nordvalls plants account for a turnover in excess of EUR 300m\/year, supplying labels to the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, snus, e-commerce, chemicals, cosmetics and logistics sectors.<\/p>\n
According to Group CEO, Patrik Jenemark, the decision to fit Nordvalls\u2019 presses with Martin Automatic technology was not about speed. \u00a0He says, \u201cWhat we value most of all is the reliable efficiency they bring to our production.\u00a0By allowing us to run the presses non-stop, we produce more per shift, maintain consistently higher quality , and significantly reduce the level of wasted substrate.\u201d<\/p>\n
known for the simplicity of design, the Martin MBS non-stop unwind\/splicers, of which Nordvalls has installed six in the past decade, are fitted to a variety of Mark Andy and Gallus narrow web flexo lines and ABG Omega machines around the Group.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Jenemark adds, \u201cThey give us a perfect splice every time, which improves press uptime and reduces operator fatigue.\u00a0 And not having to stop the line to change rolls manually and then ramp up speed afterwards, gives us a more consistent quality.\u201d<\/p>\n
With today\u2019s printed packaging market in a constant state of flux, Nordvalls is keen to stay ahead of the demand curve and the move towards digital production.\u00a0 Its commitment to what it calls \u201cNordvalls 2.0\u201d is showcased by the most recent Martin MBS installation that sees the unwind\/splicer fitted to an ABG Omega line to clear a bottleneck in production that the Omega was creating by running slower than the printing presses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see four clear trends in our sector: personalisation\/customisation; niche brands; sustainability; and regulatory compliance \u2013 and our investment strategy is designed to fulfil all of those requirements going forward,\u201d says Jenemark.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Jenemark\u2019s plan is to combine the company\u2019s long history of craftmanship and experience with the latest that technology can offer to help customers grow their business.\u00a0 \u201cThere is so much more to a label than pure decoration and product identity, and requirements will continue to increase, so it\u2019s vital we can respond to all of them,\u201d \u00a0he says.<\/p>\n
Speaking for Martin Automatic, sales manager Chris Chappel states, \u201cAs pressure grows on converters to supply top quality products with shorter lead times, the more the production process can be automated the better.\u00a0 Our relationship with Nordvalls goes back many years and the reason it continues to flourish is the simple efficiency of the MBS machine and the quick ROI it offers.\u201d<\/p>\n
At Nordvalls, as with most packaging manufacturers today, sustainability is at the core of what they do and how they do it, and the company is aware that its ecological, financial and social consciences are inextricably linked.<\/p>\n
Jenemark concludes, \u201cSustainability that lasts achieves results. What we working to ensure is that future generations can satisfy their needs.\u00a0 Sustainable solutions are essential to survival, both in life and in business, and we work hard to offer a range of environmentally friendly and climate-conscious materials that is as wide as possible.\u201d:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With six productions sites across northern Europe, Nordvalls Etikett is one of Scandinavia\u2019s leading supplier of labels.\u00a0 To…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":678095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-678094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=678094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/678094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/678095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=678094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=678094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=678094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
