Well Established Singapore Packaging customer installs CX 102 press.
Picture Mr Goh Teck Soon (chairman KPP.) Mr Thomas Frank Senior Vice President Heidelberg Asia Pacific.
K.P.P. Packaging is one of the leading suppliers of paper packaging and folding carton products in Singapore.
The company supplies packaging products to software manufacturers, advertising agencies, the electronics and electrical industry, and pharmaceuticals as well as food & beverage manufacturers, it was therefore an easy choice for KPP to invest in the High performance Speedmaster CX 102-4+L.
The first CX 102 in Singapore was sold to K.P.P. Packaging. The company continuously invests in new technologies to assure its customers of their commitment to deliver good and consistent print quality jobs. The CX 102 has helped them to meet stringent print quality demand from their customers.
K.P.P. Packaging expects high print quality for both long and short run packaging print jobs. The company needs a reliable brand of press that can help them deliver top print qualities to their customers promptly. Their customers are demanding over print quality. Color management is important to the company and this is the reason why the company has also invested in an Image control from Heidelberg.
A Positive experience: “The ongoing relationship between K.P.P. Packaging and Heidelberg is based on the reliable performance of the equipment as well as the good after-sales support from Heidelberg Systemservice for parts and maintenance work. Heidelberg sales and service team are also knowledgeable and competent to provide quality advice.” Stated Mrs Josephine Low (director KPP)
Environmentally friendly- Carbon Neutral
As a pioneer of ecological printing, Heidelberg develops solutions to eliminate or reduce CO 2 and process emissions and cut waste.
Consequently, the technology of the Speedmaster CX 102 sets standards in more than just productivity. Its high energy and resource efficiency make it the most environmentally friendly press in its class. A measuring device can be used to measure and display the press' energy efficiency per 1,000 sheets during production. This allows the operator to run the machine with exceptional energy efficiency. Another way of reducing energy requirements is to employ a heat recovery system so that waste air from the DryStar Combination dryer can be re-used for the drying process. The Star System peripherals are perfectly coordinated with the press. They are highly efficient and designed to save energy and resources. Reducing or completely eliminating the use of alcohol by equipping the press with special packages makes another important contribution to green print production. This results in a print process that delivers eco-friendly operation at low costs.
And for this reason- well established Singaporean Printer Tien Wah Press. Invested in a new Speedmaster CX 102-6L for the Johor Baru operation.
