Alzamora Group, a leading manufacturer of sustainable cartonboard packaging, has recently made a significant investment in the latest technology, valued at approximately €7m. This investment includes the incorporation of two new printers and an automated in-house logistics system, demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation and efficiency in the industry.
The company has acquired a Heidelberg XL 106 7+LYY-1 printer for its headquarters in Spain and a Heidelberg CX104-6-LYYL printer for its Novotipo subsidiary in Portugal. These custom-built printers are equipped with advanced features that significantly improve print quality and offer a wide range of special finishes to meet the most demanding requirements of the market. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) through the ‘Color Assistant’ system ensures better quality and color consistency in each print, enhancing overall output.
Both high-speed printers can produce between 15,000 and 18,000 sheets per hour, maximizing the printing capacity of each plant. With features such as an automatic non-stop system and a double quality control system, downtime for material replenishment is minimized, leading to increased operational efficiency and improved productivity.
Anna Alzamora, the managing director of Alzamora Group, emphasized that this investment not only strengthens production capacity but also highlights the company’s commitment to optimization and continuous improvement. She stated, “We want to continue to meet the needs and expectations of our customers by offering high-quality solutions.”
In addition to the new printers, Alzamora Group has also installed a new automated internal logistics system, being pioneers in the Iberian Peninsula. This system streamlines the flow of raw materials from arrival to the printing process, creating a fully automated process that enhances operational efficiency and production capacity.
Ferran Berga, project manager of Alzamora Group, affirmed the company’s dedication to advancing its production processes through continuous improvement. He stated, “With this latest investment, Alzamora reaffirms its commitment to increasing efficiencies, focusing resources on value-added actions, and enhancing the working conditions of the team.”
Overall, Alzamora Group’s investment in cutting-edge technology and innovative systems underscores its position as a leader in the food packaging industry, continuously striving for excellence and pushing boundaries in sustainable packaging solutions.
