Comexi has begun the last construction phase of its renewed technology centers (CTec) in Girona and Miami. The company has invested one million euros in the remodeling of the two centers, with the goal of offering better services for its customers.

 

The company, which is present in more than 100 countries on five continents, not only has its own production plants in Girona and Brazil, but also has commercial offices in the United States and Russia. In the last quarter of 2021, Comexi will begin operating its two new CTec facilities, which are being designed within the parameters of sustainability and energy consumption, which have made Comexi distinguishable for a long period of time.

The Manel Xifra Boada Technological Center, the Comexi CTec facility in Girona, is integrated into the company’s production center; it has a multipurpose space of 2,500 square meters for not only innovation and the development of R&D projects, but also for training, consulting, demonstrations, and industrial laboratory as well. Once renovations are completed, the center will have 9 state-of-the-art machines, a space for offset plate engraving, and a pioneering prepress area, in collaboration with leading sector companies, such as ESKO, DuPont, and Asahi. Girona CTec will be a benchmark space at an international level, not only due to its space and versatility, but as a result of it being a reflection of the corporate sustainability and industry 4.0 project, which has been stablished as a primary objective of the company.

Furthermore, before the end of 2021, the Comexi North America CTec, located in Miami, Florida, will begin its activity with the installation of a laminator and slitter. Next year, a CI flexo press machine will be installed in the facility. This center will have the same philosophy as that of Girona CTec. Comexi North America CTec represents a step forward not only regarding the company’s North American expansion, but also to the proximity and development of agile customized solutions for North American clients. The 1,000 square meters technology center will become a multipurpose space for training, research, and industrial demonstration, making it the benchmark for flexible packaging in the North American market.

In addition to this great CTec facility, Comexi’s presence in the United States will be reinforced with brand new offices and a warehouse for spare parts, and logistics investment of over a million US Dollars.

Albert López, the Global Manager of the technology center, says “both of our CTec facilities in Girona and Miami are the natural response to longtime latent needs in the market, as well as an example of the importance of innovation in our sector. As a result of the renovated technology centers, we offer our clients around the world the best customized solutions for their businesses”.

In June of 2010, Comexi CTec began its activities in Girona with an advanced flexo course for customers in the Middle East. The technology center was established with the same objective as that of present day: to impart knowledge to Comexi clients. From inception, Comexi CTec provided advice for a variety of technologies, as well as face-to-face, personalized training online and at the facilities of clients. Furthermore, it has incorporated customer support at the level of industrial tests, R + D, and innovation support.

The new Comexi Technology Center will display the most advanced tools regarding the digitization of processes and job workflows for printing and converting. One of these tools is Comexi Cloud, a digital service platform which assists customers with the improvement of their factory performance through the analysis of real-time production data. Consequently, this allows them to build and develop smarter factories. Comexi Cloud, a comprehensive online platform to visualize, compile, analyze, and store data, has reinvented the manner in which printers and converters manage all types of processes.
