Mirmar now has three Mark Andy P5 presses and two P7s, all with 438mm web width.
Over the ensuing years, Mirmar has invested in 11 Mark Andy presses, with a total of more than 80 print units. The latest batch of eight-color Performance Series presses began to be installed in 2013 when the P5 that was demonstrated on Mark Andy’s Labelexpo stand in Brussels, Belgium, was delivered direct to the plant near Valencia, Spain, after the expo closed. Coin- cidentally, it was the 250th Performance Series press to roll off the line at the Mark Andy headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri, a number that now exceeds 650 worldwide in the eight years since launching. The three P5s and two P7s now at Mirmar all have the 17-inch web width and are variously fitted with corona treaters, web turn bars, delam/relam, cold foil, screen print units, QCDC, and AVT 100 percent inspection. The specification and capability of the P-Series is al- lowing Mirmar to expand from its traditional base of food, household, and beverage labels, into the more niche areas of homecare and cosmetics, and other high quality sectors, like the wine industry, where added value is required, and margins are significantly better. This is changing the company’s substrate base from largely self-adhesive papers and thermals to PP and PE.
