EPL Limited, the world’s largest specialty packaging company, is upgrading its flexo platemaking process with solutions from DuPont™ Cyrel®. The DuPontCyrel FAST thermal system processes flexographic printing plates without solvents or water.
EPL will implement the Cyrel FAST thermal workflow across its global manufacturing sites in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. This initiative from EPL is one more step towards its sustainability commitment. DuPont’s new Cyrel FAST thermal system also offers speed and quality to EPL’s current flexo print process.
Ram Ramasamy, COO at EPL, says, “After a thorough evaluation of the systems available today, we chose the latest thermal platemaking system from DuPont as our technology partner which will benefit both EPL and their customers. The global presence of DuPont in terms of support and its continued efforts to reduce the carbon footprint with its technology made it easy for EPL to take this decision. This is a step forward to fulfil our high quality and sustainability commitments to our customers and investors.”
Jan Scharfenberg, Business Leader East at DuPont Cyrel Solutions, says, “We are pleased that EPL has chosen the DuPont Cyrel FAST workflow for upgrading their flexo platemaking process after an intense selection procedure. We look forward to being a trusted partner to EPL on their sustainability goals, enabling them to serve their customers globally with the highest agility and quality level.”
