OlymPak Printing & Packaging Replaces Two Presses With Komori GX40 to Gain Greater Production Capacity
OlymPak Printing & Packaging has installed a new Komori six-color 40-inch press, the Lithrone GX40 (GLX640), to expand the speed and flexibility of its folding carton production operation.
The company, a division of MinMor Industries, has packaging facilities in Mora and Grand Rapids, Minnesota and serves a nationwide clientele in a variety of industries, including retail packaging, nutraceuticals, food and food service, beauty and personal care, as well as major retailers such as Walmart, Target and CVS. The new Komori press replaces two older presses and is delivering greater production capacity than the two older presses combined. Additionally, its advanced automation gives OlymPak the broader flexibility needed for its expanding packaging business.
Company President Mark Miner stated, “Initially, we thought a digital press would be the best solution to handle our short-run work. However, as we analyzed our return on the investment, we immediately saw the Komori GLX640 as the clear choice. The press can manage both short and long runs and offers amazingly fast changeovers. The speed and efficiencies built into this press will pay for itself in just the time savings alone.”
