"This year at SGIA, we mark the formal launch of the new NUR Expedio 5000 in the Americas and we expect it will be a very busy show for us," says Nachum Korman, president of NUR America, Inc. "The high speed and UV-printing capabilities of this new machine make it a versatile companion to screen presses in operations that need to handle a lot of flexible media. Since we first previewed it earlier this year, it has generated tremendous interest and we are already taking orders for it. We have also added a new production facility to expand our manufacturing capacity for the machine so we can meet the expected demand."
