PCG Continues (CONT’D FROM PAGE 38)

Presently, Engico employees and trainers are in the United States servicing and supporting the growing in- stallation base. The Haire Group, which currently handles sales, parts, service and support for the APSTAR product line in North America, is working closely with Engico to replicate a successful proven model. Providing excellent service and the ability to tap into Haire Group’s rigging and support team, if and when needed, reinforces their long-

improving since its installation in February. To maximize performance, an Alliance FEEDMASTER Jumbo Bottom Feeder, designed especially for jumbo machines, was in- stalled. Since commissioning the Engico, PCG has been running it two shifts and went to three in early April. Gold- berg admits that there is still a learning curve – for exam-

ple, discovering the best and fastest way to run an RSC – that needs to be scaled before set- ting production speed records and there has been a concerted effort on training because the machine can simply do so many things. “So how do you take a traditional flexo oper- ator who doesn’t know what a stitcher is or an

earned reputation in the American market. Says Ben- zoni, “Sometimes our technology appears unbeliev-

able, but when it is introduced and presented by someone who is already trusted, like Haire Group, we can be suc- cessful. You can have the best technology in the world, but if it is presented by someone who hasn’t earned the trust of the customer, the relationship will not work.” “Like PCG, Rinaldo is an independent in the true sense of the word,” says Goldberg. “He and Engico will do what- ever it takes to satisfy whatever the relationship needs but he expects that as the customer, we will provide the same effort. And we have. It’s been a great partnership from the very beginning. I can confidently say that the Engico was fairly priced and is a great investment. If a box plant owner leverages that investment, especially with the speeds the machine can achieve, it will pay for itself in no time.”
