\"\"Miraclon<\/a>, home of KODAK FLEXCEL Solutions<\/a>, today officially opened its new flexo plate manufacturing line \u2013 \u2018Gemini\u2019<\/em> \u2013 in Weatherford, Oklahoma, United States; two and a half years after breaking ground on the project in April 2017. Initially manufacturing flexographic plates for customers in the United States, Canada and Latin America, the new manufacturing line will enable the company to keep up with demand after seeing year-on-year double digit FLEXCEL NX plate volume growth for the past five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a momentous occasion for Miraclon. Just six months after our spin-out from Kodak, we mark one of our first major milestones with the completion of this project; on time and on target. While it demonstrates Miraclon\u2019s ongoing commitment to invest in and expand the market for flexographic printing, the second manufacturing facility also brings source of supply closer to a large portion of our customer base and expands the manufacturing footprint of FLEXCEL NX Plates to two sites\u201d, comments Chris Payne, Miraclon CEO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Weatherford plate manufacturing line, a sister operation to the company\u2019s existing plate manufacturing facility in Yamanashi, Japan, was designed to meet increasing industry demand for higher quality flexographic printed packaging with more cost effective and efficient production processes. The $15 million investment underscores the ongoing industry growth and adoption of KODAK FLEXCEL NX Plates.
\nThe new line produced its first KODAK FLEXCEL NX plate in October 2018, after which rigorous testing and alignment with the Yamanashi facility began to ensure the state-of-the-art manufacturing technology delivers the same high performance and quality Miraclon customers have come to trust and expect.
\nChris concludes: \u201cWe can only continue building on our sector-leading legacy by ongoing investment in our employees, customers, R&D team and infrastructure. This is exactly what we\u2019re doing. Today we\u2019re not only celebrating the official opening of our second plate manufacturing line, but also Miraclon\u2019s entry into its next phase of working with customers to shape the future of flexo.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
