Firma Sigma, a Russian label converter, has installed a Mark Andy Performance Series P4 press at its production facility in Moscow. It is the first P4 to be installed in the country and will complement Sigma’s four existing Mark Andy 2200 presses with its compatible tooling.
"We have had nine Mark Andy presses over the years and all have been extremely reliable," says Gennady Uzlov, owner of Firma Sigma. "Our first 2200 is still running. This gave us the confidence to stay with the brand and invest in one of its new P4 machines. It is well priced and is a very productive press, best of all, it allows us to use the large inventory of 2200 tooling that we have built up over the years."
The P4 offers efficiency with enhanced flexibility and 60% faster changeover time than conventional inline presses. Its modular design offers responsive technology and the rail system allows to customize applications.
"Sigma is one of three label converters serving the food industry in Moscow, and all are Mark Andy users," adds Maxim Aleksashenko, sales team leader at VIP-Systems, Mark Andy’s distributor in Russia. "Present Packaging have 2200 and 4150 presses and TT Print have two P5s, so there is a strong belief in the productivity and efficiency of Mark Andy technology here – the presses allow their owners to make money in what is a very competitive marketplace."
VIP sees good potential growth for Mark Andy technology in the Russian flexible packaging sector, where the quality demanded is well suited to the capability of the latest Performance Series presses.
