LabelTec Installs First ROTOCON Flexographic Press in the United States
LabelTec has become the first converter in the US to install a ROTOCON RFP flexographic press, marking an expansion for ROTOCON USA into North America. The installation replaces older machinery with a modern servo-driven system featuring automatic pre-register and registration controls aimed at improving efficiency, reducing setup times, enhancing repeatability, and ensuring consistent print output. Jeff Haddad of Rotocon USA highlighted that the transaction was structured to minimize financial barriers by accepting trade-ins for existing equipment. LabelTec's quality control manager emphasized operational benefits such as shorter setups and more precise adjustments with increased confidence in press performance. The project was managed as a turnkey solution, reducing disruption and capital exposure. Rotocon USA is also expanding its North American footprint through the completion of a demonstration center in New Jersey by August 2026, which will showcase live demonstrations and testing capabilities for converters.
