Bell Purchases North America’s First Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 162 Press
KENNESAW, GA—Sept. 16, 2009—Bell Inc. has become the first U.S. company to purchase Heidelberg’s new Speedmaster XL 162 VLF press. The Sioux Falls, SD-based company, one of the largest and fastest-growing independent folding carton producers in North America, chose the Speedmaster XL 162 6+LX press with aqueous coater and Prinect Press Center with Intellistart and integrated Wallscreen. This is the first sheetfed press for the formerly all-web company. The “Peak Performance” of the XL 162 was a driving factor in the company’s selection of this Heidelberg technology. The new machine will be the first installation of Heidelberg’s 64” VLF model in North America.
For Bell Incorporated, the acquisition of a Heidelberg VLF press is entirely consistent with the company’s business approach, which is to combine investment in the latest high-speed production technology with a lean, entrepreneurial organization. This enables Bell Incorporated, which promotes itself as “The Face of Packaging Innovation,” to deliver one of the lowest cost structures in the industry.
