Published: May 11, 2017

VIENNA, AUSTRIA | Constantia Flexibles Group has invested in new printing technology at its manufacturing site in Louvain, Belgium, for the pharmaceutical packaging industry. A new four-color UV flexo press from Bobst will start full production in the second quarter of 2017, supporting customers with small- to medium-sized batches.

Company says the new technology lowers solvent emissions significantly, increases print capacity, and can cater for new product areas.

“We are delighted that this update in technology strengthens our sustainable outlook on doing business and signals the introduction of more UV presses for Louvain in the future,” says Pierre-Henri Bruchon, executive VP of the Pharma division.

Constantia Louvain is an integral part of the Pharma division’s satellite concept in Europe, using pre-material from larger plants to print and slit foils and laminates for customers located in close proximity to the plant.
