At drupa TRESU A/S and SOMA signed a strategic partnership to supply TRESU with fully automatic plate mounting. This new feature will significantly reduce the time spent as well as wasted board and ink in job changes to an even lower level.

With a faster impression, TRESU yet again improves the industry’s highest throughput. With improved automation systems, customers experience significant reductions in downtime, reduced waste and ink loss – no matter the operator skill level. Multiplied with the machine cost per hour, the value of an automated process gets quite significant.

Steffan Warming-Rasmussen VP Products TRESU: “With the fully automatic plate mounter SOMA S-Mount technology we close the gap from pre-press plate mounting to in-press perfect printing plate and anilox impression - and this is a great opportunity for us to offer even more competitive solutions to our customers”.

Steffan continues: “The SOMA S-Mount & IRIS technology will also be fully retrofittable for our installed base of TRESU presses as well - and will be one of the top options for customers buying the Innovator going forward. 

Pavla Kusa, Commercial Director of SOMA, added, "S-Mount is a very efficient solution for printers. It has proven to be successful. For SOMA, cooperation with TRESU brings another selling channel to increase sales of S-Mount, particularly in the folding carton and liquid packaging segments, where precision and efficiency are essential."

Overall, the SOMA S-Mount together with TRESU’s Dual ink Deck is a great combination and perfect choice making the TRESU Flexo Innovator even more attractive – with significant reduction of time spent on make ready and job change.
