Kolding, Denmark - TRESU Group, the flexo ancillary and machine provider, has appointed Pulse Production Improvement (Eerbeek, the Netherlands) as agents for Belgium and the Netherlands.

Pulse Production Improvement has over four decades’ experience in providing flexo printers with machine maintenance, anilox roll cleaning services, consumables supplies and application advice. The company, which has five staff covering the Benelux region, plus agents in Germany and France, will assist TRESU in retrofitting projects.

TRESU’s ancillary programme, including ink supply systems and chamber doctor blades, provides the complete logistics for automatic, controlled ink circulation in flexo printing. resulting in improved efficiency, faster productivity and quality consistency. Capable of being retrofitted to existing machines or fitted with new presses, the ancillary programme covers all flexo applications, from labels to corrugated board where widths can exceed six metres. 

Henrik Kristensen, vice-president, TRESU Ancillary, comments: “As average printing run lengths decrease, there is a growing demand from packaging converters for solutions that reduce waste and make-ready times. Controlled ink circulation, through the TRESU ancillary and retrofitting programme has demonstrably enhanced press performance at printing operations worldwide. The addition of our lightweight, corrosion-resistant carbon fibre chambers means corrugated printers can exploit these benefits too.”

“With Pulse Production Improvements, we have a vastly experienced team of experts who can provide, local, responsive and long-term support to keep the flexo printer at the forefront of competitiveness.”

In addition, TRESU will be retrofitting its carbon-fibre chamber doctor blade and F10 iCon ink supply system on a 2500mm-wide Fischer & Krecke central impression flexo press at Pulse’s sister company, Felco, a corrugated preprint converter.   

Both Felco and Pulse are subsidiaries of Rudico Holding B.V., which also comprises the packaging pre-press service Rudico Flexo Processing, and the artwork workflow service Packaging Artwork Solutions.
