18.02.2019 Doneck Network: German production location for solvent-based inks for packaging!
The medium-sized European specialist for high-quality water and solvent-based flexographic and gravure inks will once again be at the Proflex in Stuttgart.
With its second production location for solvent-based printing inks in Merzig, Germany, which was completed shortly before going into operation, the Doneck Network now has additional production capacities with which to meet the demands of the packaging industry, which have been growing for years.
In addition to that, the Doneck Network with its locations in Luxembourg and Germany will be one of the few European printing ink manufacturers to also have a corresponding backup within the scope of the Business Contingency Plan. Both locations are equipped with ultra-modern production technology and safety infrastructure, including items such as automatic fire extinguishing systems. "We have thus set a further milestone in delivery reliability for our customers in our risk management concept", says Arndt Breitbach, Managing Partner of Doneck Euroflex S.A.
The Doneck Network will also be presenting some product innovations at the trade fair booth: in addition to many water-based ink systems, some solvent-based printing ink series have now also been certified according to the label "OK Compost Industrial" for industrial composting plants (composting at 55 °C to 60 °C) and "OK Compost Home" for household compost (lower temperature). Compostability is checked in two steps according to the EN standard 13432: First of all, the Organic Waste Systems Institute carries out a heavy metals analysis. After that an ecotoxicity test is carried out. Following the successful tests and protocols, the certification is carried out by the TÜV Austria.
“Green printing” is gaining in importance in the packaging industry. That's why Doneck is putting the spotlight on this aspect together with user safety", says Doneck Network's Managing Director Sales Edgar Becker, explaining the reason for this step.
The technical sales team will give advice on the new products and the Euromix dispensing system to visitors at the trade fair booth in Stuttgart. Contacts at the Proflex are Edgar Becker, Managing Director Sales, and the German-speaking sales team with Claudia Klampfl, Mario Ittner, Hubert Triller and Rüdiger Neuschäfer.
We look forward to your visit!
