Printing

Siegwerk’s decision to move production to Turkey reflects a broader trend of industrial relocation away from high-cost Western European countries to lower-cost Eastern European and Eurasian locations.

The “online and retail expansion” language suggests that Pantum is pursuing an omnichannel strategy: products available on e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart) for direct-to-consumer sales, and also in physical stores for customers who want to see the printer before buying.

Consolidating manufacturing, supply chain, quality, ESH, PMO, and IT under a single operational leader reflects Wikoff’s commitment to a more modern, integrated, and standardised operating model across its network.

By freeing up the overspecified finishing lines for the 20% of jobs that actually need complex embellishment, a converter can increase overall throughput without adding floor space.

By adding AstroNova digital label printers to the range, Eclipse can now supply a complete workflow from full-colour digital print through to finished labels.

The press includes several automation and stability-focused features, including motor-controlled UV systems, BST inspection technology, RE tension control, and anti-static systems positioned throughout the production path to support consistent performance at higher operating speeds.

The MAMA-1000 supports optional add-ons including air filtration, a pellet dryer, a pigments mixer for colour blending, and an IDEX dual-head configuration for multi-material workflows.

The iEcho system uses a digital cutting head that follows a CAD file, producing the first piece as fast as the thousandth piece, with no tooling cost and no waiting for die manufacture.

The RD 530mm rotary die-cutting finishing machine operates independently from the press, allowing Jackrom to print on the RFP 660S while simultaneously die-cutting previously printed rolls on the RD.

The expansion is supported by strategic partnerships with Gulf Commercial Group Company, which includes the Managed Print Services Company in the UAE, Gulf Business Solutions in Saudi Arabia, and CNS in Oman, as well as PACKPRO in Egypt.
