Al-Shamranin Modernizes With Bobst Vision CI Flexo Press Al-Shamrani, located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has invested in a new Bobst Vision CI flexo press. Established in 1994, the business has grown through investments of more than 120 million riyals (SR). Its 25,000-square-meter facility features 28 integrated pro- duction lines of film, printing, cutting and processing equipment, with more than 120 employees within the busi- ness. In addition to supplying PE packaging to the food market, Al-Shamrani prints on all PE, polypropylene (PP), laminate, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) and cast polypropylene (CPP) products. The Bobst Vision CI is said to deliver efficiency and perfor- mance across all flexographic production lengths, on a wide range of substrates. The Vision CI press is reportedly a highly modular concept that enables fast installation and start-up.
Al-Suntory Beverage & Food Selects Asahi Plates
Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd., headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, has switched to AWP water-washable flexographic plates from Asahi Kasei Corp. for the printing of beverage labels in Japan on their 550 ml PET bottles. This is reportedly the first time for AWP plates to be used for printing labels in the beverage industry in Japan. In implementing this flexo printing technology, Asahi Kasei collaborated with Fuji Seal, Inc. According to research by Fuji Seal, this is expected to re- duce CO2 emissions by approximately 30 percent compared to the plate technology that had previously been used.

Today the Group employs 1250 people and offers a complete pack- age of products and services from extrusion to finished flex- ible packaging products, including printing, and converting.
