The Clondalkin Group has invested more than €1 million in new technologies for its Specialist Packaging Pharma & Healthcare business.
The spend includes a Gallus ECS 340 press to expand the label production capabilities at Clondalkin Pharma & Healthcare Kimbolton. The 9-colour UV press features a 340mm print width with coldfoil and reverse print capabilities.
Significant upgrades have also been made to two existing presses at Clondalkin Pharma & Healthcare Hull, to strengthen its capabilities in multi ply labels. A Gallus EM 260 flexo press now has a new re-register unit plus two additional printheads to enable label production in nine colours and up to four layers. Upgrades to an MPS flexo press include an additional printhead taking it up to 10 colours, and a new web shifting unit allowing production of a 5-ply label in a single pass.
