Usa, fifth OMET press in 3 years for Phenix Label

For more than a century, Phenix Label has led the industry by constantly evolving to bring better solutions to each of its customers. With a wide range of options to consider, Phenix Label chose OMET as the perfect partner for the modernization of its converting plant starting in 2016 a great collaboration.

“Our mission is to be the best in the industry” – says Todd Fatino, Phenix Label Vice President of Innovation – “We lead our industry by promoting teamwork and integrity in a family-oriented culture.

Before modernization of its manufacturing equipment, Phenix spent 1.5 years investigating the current printing press technology before deciding on OMET. “We travelled to the press manufacturers site as well as individual converting plants – tell us Mr. Fatino – utilizing the various types of printing presses. Some of the deciding factors were technology/engineering, family owned company for 50 plus years, diversification… tissue machines, ball bearing division…”

After a first OMET X6 530 installation in 2015, Phenix Label installed 2 OMET iFLEX 370 and 2 OMET X4 370. It means 5 OMET presses in 3 years. Latest press is a 10 color X4 equipped with GEW LED curing technology, corona treating, web cleaning lamination, sheeting and cold foil. Phenix continues to modernize their plant with new OMET press’s and phasing out of the existing Aquaflex/Instaflex technology.

“Our marketing target is to delivery the WOW factor to our customers – explains Mr. Fatino – We don’t just take order, we work with the customer from start to shelf to create consistent and compelling package design. OMET presses really help us in quality and quick delivery to our customers. Plans are to purchase additional OMET presses in the future – says Mr. Fatino – Looking forward of being a partner with OMET for a long long time”.
