Proteus Purchases Heidelberg Presses

July 19, 2008 Official Board Markets


Proteus Packaging is the first U.S. company to purchase Heidelberg’s new Speedmaster XL 145 press — one of two very large format (VLF) press models Heidelberg unveiled at drupa 2008. The Franklin, Wis.-based folding carton producer chose the 6-color Speedmaster XL 145 press with inline aqueous coater to upgrade its pressroom. The new machine will be the first VLF press from Heidelberg installed in North America.

Proteus expects to replace two older VLF presses with the XL 145. Proteus’ pressmen will receive extensive training on their new technology at Heidelberg’s machinery training center in Kennesaw, Ga. Heidelberg’s VLF presses are designed to meet the specific requirements of the folding carton and package printing sectors and deliver fast makereadies and high productivity on a broad range of substrates.
