ABG International to expand its premium product portfolio with Gietz ROFO module
A B Graphic International (ABG), the leading finishing equipment manufacturer, was established by the Burton Family back in 1954.
The ongoing expansion into new territories has been driven by ABG’s incredible global family of 450+ experts and their unwavering passion and commitment to delivering the very best, cutting edge printing solutions for clients right across the globe.
ABG meets the changing demands by challenging the status quo and delivering the ‘above and beyond’ service experience ABG has become so synonymous with.
Gietz AG was founded in 1892 and is nowadays driven in 5th family generation by Mr. Hansjörg Gietz. For over 130 years, the name Gietz has stood for industry-leading machine solutions in the printing, packaging, and security industries. For more than 65 years the focus has been on the continuous improvement of Heat Transfer Technologies (Hot Foiling) in flat-bed technology. The result for the label industry is the outstanding Gietz ROFO 450 or 570 series with their key advantages.
Market requirements changes
ABG already provides several own Heat Transfer (Hot Stamping) units in their product portfolio on their flagship Digicon machine, starting from semi rotary solutions to an entry flat-bed (max. stamping force 25 tons) and their well-known Big Foot device (50 tons stamping force).
However, ABG recognises that the market requirements are growing, and together with Gietz, they intend to reply to these requirements by using the well-known premium Gietz ROFO 450 or ROFO 570 units, which will be integrated into ABG’s world leading finishing equipment.
The versatile and reliable Gietz ROFO 450 ECO module perfectly replies to these growing requirements by providing an outstanding stamping area up to 24 inches in running length, an unreached stamping force of 100 tons and with up to 22’000 strokes per hour, respectively 120 m/min. linear speed. For even higher performance Gietz offers a PLUS version, and by growing demand, a wider web width version with its Gietz ROFO 570 machine.
ABG continuously develops their finishing solutions with faster running finishing machines, further improvements, digital approaches and connected services. In partnering with Gietz, they will widen their portfolio, bringing two world leading machine manufacturers together.
Discreet visible commitment
The upcoming Labelexpo demonstrates that both companies are and will remain independent. The common goal of ABG and Gietz is to offer customers the best possible machine solution for their needs.
Interested parties are invited to visit the Gietz stand in Hall 4, Stand No. 4D26, to see the advantages of the Gietz ROFO 450 ECO for themselves, where a highly embellished label with four processing steps is being produced.
You can see how these labels are further finished in one of the ABG finishing lines at Labelexpo, which will be on the HP stand 5D21. ABG is to showcase 10 machine solutions, which you will find spread out over the show. ABG’s main booth is in Hall 3, Stand 3E41, further machines are in Hall 5, stands 5E25 and 5D21.
