A B Graphic International (ABG) welcomed more than 150 customers from 16 different countries to its three-day Open House event earlier this month.
In celebration of its 70th anniversary and to showcase its recently opened manufacturing facility, the finishing equipment manufacturer revealed that it conducted 294 exclusive machine demonstrations and laid on 42 factory tours during the period.
Having assembled in York, guests were transported to ABG’s new manufacturing facility at Kelleythorpe, Driffield. ABG demonstrated recently launched solutions including the 4th generation Converter and Vectra AutoSet Turret Rewinder, as well as the SRI3 and ABG’s own camera inspection system, fleyeVision.
The tour continued at ABG’s Carnaby HQ, where visitors were introduced to the latest developments in Digicon Series 3 technology, featuring the new Automatic Matrix Stripping, Fast Track Die and Flexo technology. Other solutions on display included ABG’s DigiLase digital laser die-cutting solution and DigiJet for digital embellishment.
The event featured a dinner and networking opportunity, celebrating ABG’s history from 1954 to the present day.
Zenna Parfaniuk, MD of long-time customer The Label Makers, said, “ABG and The Label Makers share a long history and it was fantastic to be part of both ABG’s 70th anniversary celebrations and witness their latest innovations. The new Kelleythorpe site is impressive and in true ABG style, they made sure we were looked after from start to finish. It’s clear that their commitment to advancing technology continues to shape the future of the industry.”
Simon Nadin, ABG’s CEO designate, added, “Celebrating 70 years is a tremendous landmark for ABG, and it was a privilege to mark this achievement alongside our valued customers. This event showcased how we are continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and design, enhancing our capabilities to deliver greater efficiency and productivity.
