There is a medium sized converter based in a town called Bornem, about a 30-minute drive from the Belgium capital city, Brussels. Like many of its type, it had expanded over the years with sporadic investment in printing and finishing technology, but despite the influx of new equipment, it found it was never quite able to jump up to the next level of production efficiency.
With a desire to be better, faster, and greener than its competition, Desmedt Labels has always been open to new technology, and installed digital print capability as far back as 1999 with an Indigo Omnius WebStream 50 press (pre HP).
