Rotoflex Brings Manufacturing To Canada Following the 2016 move of Rotoflex’s Canadian re- gional office to a larger, new 18,000-square-foot show- room and technology center near Toronto, Ontario, full production of new Rotoflex slitter/rewinders and diecutting machines, formerly managed at the Mark Andy headquarters location near St Louis, Missouri, has now transferred to Toronto as well. Continued sales growth over several years of Rotoflex’s offline finishing solutions, including the newly launched HSI, Vericut3 and Security Series led to this expansion of the Canadi- an facility.The manufacturing capacity at Mark Andy re- sulting from the move will accommodate the company’s growth in the digital market, supporting de- mand for its growing digital hybrid portfolio including the production-level Digital Series, entry-level solution Digital One, and the Digital Plus program, which offers digital retrofits to existing flexo platforms. Live machine demonstrations, retrofits and rebuilds, engineering development and technical support and services are now all accessible from the Rotoflex Canadian facility. The Mark Andy Poland and UK re- gional demonstration facilities also showcase Rotoflex equipment, with worldwide representation available through local sales and distribution offices.
