DuPont Packaging Graphics announced the start-up of the first dedicated DuPont
Cyrel round manufacturing facility at its Towanda, Pa., facility.
Cyrel round sleeve
production will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, and will be fully
commercial early in 2011.
“This represents a major investment in the future of flexographic print sleeves
in North America, and demonstrates our
commitment to the continued advancement of flexography globally,” said Matthias
Heinzel, global business director – DuPont Packaging Graphics. “Continuous
flexo sleeves are lightweight, easy-to-handle print forms that enable quick
change-over on press; and their seamless design enables high press speeds and
the capability to print difficult-to-register, high-quality designs.”
“The plant will have the capacity to support the growing demand for sleeves in
North America,” stated Wendy Andrushko, North America sales and marketing director – DuPont Packaging Graphics. She also went on to
note that the Towanda facility would manufacture Cyrel round sleeves for both
solvent and thermal processes, and was timed to coincide with the introduction
of the Cyrel FAST round processing system in North America.
