More recently embracing the industry trends towards hybrid flexo-digital presses and the adoption of LED curing technology.

Our enviable reputation and performance in the international wide-web print and conversion sector is well deserved. As highlighted in the About Us section we have impressive recognition from the European Flexographic Industry Association. This knowledge and expertise is now being deployed across all continents through our extensive network of agents and strategic partners.

Uniquely we manufacture our anilox rollers, mandrels, sleeves and end-rings inhouse delivering total quality control. Our wide-web customers benefit from our technical support as part of the design process to ensure precision and consistency in volume transfer, line count, porosity and hardness characteristics.

Our range of versatile anilox storage solutions can be floor mounted, mobile or bench top modular systems. Built to your specification our storage solutions enable you to store all your print sleeves vertically.

Scalable solutions will fit most print rooms offering protection and easy access to your entire inventory of sleeves. Vertical storage evenly distributes the weight of the sleeves, reducing the the risk of stress and damage.

Used in conjunction with the Voltec, the Ani-Scope is designed as a simple way to check the condition of anilox engravings.

The microscope is available with a variety of magnifications. Enabling print managers to quickly ascertain levels of cleanliness, wear and potential damage on the anilox engraving. The Ani-Scope can be linked to a smart phone and capture images efficiently. Anilox refurbishments and cleaning schedules can be planned. Saving valuable press time and maintaining quality standards.

Available for both wide web and narrow web ink systems. Full training is provided to get the best from our ink magnets.

We supply ceramic coated laser engraved coating rollers for use on both flexo and litho presses.

We have recently launched an integrated inline coating solution for the litho market; successfully applying a wide range of coatings including textured varnish.

Our award-winning laser engraved coating rollers can be configured to suit your application and print process. Delivering scratch resistance, long lasting wear due to our unique anti-corrosion process.

We are now able to offer a combined service that includes rubber coated rollers such as embossing, nip, inkers, coating and/or path rollers.

Specially selected rubber compounds are used to meet your specific operations. Ranging in hardness from 30 to 100 shore we can spec. your requirements at the same time as reviewing existing anilox inventory as part of our auditing cycle.

Precision surface grinding, polishing and grooving, can be achieved to exacting standards up to 4m width rolls with a maximum O/D of 650mm.

This versatile, floor mounted, modular system enables you to store all your print sleeves vertically in one convenient store. A stylish, bespoke design stores cylinders securely in modules, each of which hold up to 40 sleeves dependent on size. Two modules are fixed to the floor and can support a further four mobile modules. Housing up to 240 sleeves in a simple six module system.

The Voltec equipment is a wet ink test that gives an indisputable measurement of volume in cm³/m². Whether the anilox are dirty or worn, this equipment informs users of the actual volumes their anilox are printing at.

This minimises press down time and gives ink suppliers the necessary information for strengthening inks. The Voltec kit we supply is a robust tool which can withstand the industrial print environment.
