As part of the Mayr-Melnhof Group, MM Packaging France S.A.S. is one of Europe's top packaging printers. At its Monéteau site near Auxerre, the Group now also has a large-format press from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) - a Speedmaster XL 145 six-color press with coating unit, elevated feeder and delivery, logistics, and Auto Non Stop system. To get the very best out of the press, MMP has also secured an exceptional service package.
MMP France primarily produces food packaging. Some 200 employees make folding cartons for drinks, cereals, ready meals, frozen food, confectionery, and pet food around the clock. Despite the printing of food packaging being subject to particularly strict hygiene requirements throughout the production process, the volumes being processed are huge.
Since June 2010, this has been boosted by a Speedmaster XL 145-6-LX. As Dieter Allitsch, Managing Director of MMP France, reveals, the company first started thinking about purchasing this highly productive press several years ago. "We are expanding. We were therefore looking for a press to optimize our cost structure while also delivering impressive quality. It also needed to operate under strict hygiene conditions and ensure optimum reliability in production," he explains.
