Landa today announces that the Chinese packaging giant Zhongrong Printing Group (ZRP) has completed the installation of the first Landa S10 Nanographic Printing Press in Asia Pacific.
The single-sided B1 (41in) format Landa S10 prints 6,500 large-format sheets per hour on off-the-shelf substrates in thickness from 2.4-32 pt and is aimed at folding carton and POP/POS applications. Yishai Amir, Landa CEO, said: “We’ve spent the last six months putting all the necessary service and support functions in place to serve customers in China, which also includes the opening of a local Landa office. With that done, ZRP has been the perfect partner to launch Nanography in Asia Pacific. Being a packaging expert and one of the country’s ‘Top 100’ leading industry suppliers, the company not only understands the opportunities that the Landa S10 delivers, but they also know how to take Nanography to market and drive its rapid adoption. We look forward to supporting ZRP and other customers in this thriving region, in the near future.” ZRP will use its Landa press for short to medium-run packaging. Its CEO said of the investment: “It fills us with pride to be the first Chinese company to install and operate a Landa S10 press. We already have a comprehensive offering including digital print, offset, gravure, silkscreen and flexo printing processes, but the Landa S10 presents us with a brand-new production capability and customer service that truly complements our other printing formats. In China, colors used in packaging and product branding are very influential in the consumer buying decision. Because of this, we expect Nanography’s vibrant color palette to add significant value to customers, especially in a competitive retail environment.”
