Lollicup Buys Koenig & Bauer EVO-XG Flexo Press Lollicup USA, Inc., a beverage and disposable goods supplier and manufacturer for the food service indus- try, has purchased a Koenig & Bauer-Flexotecnica EVO XG press. Lollicup has quickly expanded to en- compass five locations including its current head- quar ter s in Chino, California, and its new 660,000-square-foot production and manufacturing plant in Rockwall, Texas, which is currently being built. It is this new facility that will operate the new Koenig & Bauer-Flexotecnica EVO XG press. “Our customer base here in the United States has quickly expanded in the past five years and we’re seeing special attention on orders for eco-friendly products,” said AlanYu, CEO of Lollicup USA. Lollicup USA has been on Inc. magazine’s 5,000 fastest growing companies list for the past five years in a row. The EVO-XG is the company’s first in-house flexo press. The new Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica EVO XG is equipped with numerous automated fea- tures that will reportedly improve efficiency and greatly reduce makeready times at Lollicup’s Rock- wall facility. Lollicup feels that the EVO XG will re- duce turnaround time printing its paper cups. The EVO XG is built with many engineering and design details, such as its heavy construction cast-iron closed-design frames to the high-precision solid print deck featuring anti-vibration mechanical elements.
