Macfarlane Labels Invests in 10-Colour Nilpeter FA-17
Longtime Nilpeter partner, Macfarlane Labels, has invested in a 10-colour Nilpeter FA-17 to meet increasing workloads during the COVID-19 pandemic within the company’s regular product offerings. The new press joins a fleet of five other Nilpeter presses at Macfarlane.
Macfarlane Labels provides high quality, self-adhesive and resealable labels to a wide range of sectors including food, health and beauty, household products, beverages and pharmaceuticals.
Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the company has seen a growth in demand of labelling and packaging products, creating both challenges and opportunities that have lead to the acquisition of the new 10-colour Nilpeter FA-17.
