Sun Chemical Turns Up the Heat in Drupa Build-up

In order to meet the challenges of the printing industry even better, Sun Chemical and UPM-Kymmene, both world leaders in their respective fields, are jointly developing a new magazine paper and ink concept for heatset printing. This is part of Sun Chemical’s Publication sector initiatives, where the company will be showing at drupa ways in which printers can enhance print quality and press productivity to increase operating profits. The offerings will include a unique, ‘next-generation’ matrix of products and services, which includes consumables, training, technical service, R&D and value packages for customers. This robust set of services complements a range of innovative products designed specifically to add value for printers operating in the heatset, coldset and publication gravure markets.

From Industrial, there will be updates from the screen, optical discs and digital aftermarket.

“We continuously push the limits of efficiency and strive to adopt the best operational practices to create value and remain competitive,” said Felipe Mellado, Corporate Vice President and Group Managing Director for Sun Chemical Europe. “Drupa is the perfect showcase to demonstrate our world-class initiatives that are helping our customers through quality, service and innovation.”
