Since 1980, UAE based Al Mawrid Printing & Advertising, a unit of the Thomsun Group, has looked to technological leadership and strong supplier partnerships to drive them to new heights of global repute and printing excellence. They produce an incredible variety of packaging, including food packaging, bakery boxes, medicine boxes, perfume boxes, kraft boxes, e-flute boxes, duplex and food board printed boxes, PE coated board printed boxes and special packaging board printing which can be used directly in oven and deep freezers.
In 2012, Al Mawrid ordered its first Heidelberg inline flexo press. The combination of a Heidelberg ICS with an inline die-cutter Heidelberg FCL in a printing width of 670 mm was mainly meant for the production of cigarette packaging. Through their successful and efficient production with their first installation, Al Mawrid has come back and ordered another Heidelberg ICS. The press, consisting of flexo and gravure printing as well as different converting modules will be installed soon, driving Al Mawrid’s growth further forward.
“The excellent flexo printing and value-adding quality of products that were printed on our first ICS excited our customers. What we appreciate about the press is its easy operation, low maintenance, the combination of various printing and converting methods within one machine and the enormous output combined with reliability and high uptime”, explains Justin Ninan, Production Manager at Al Mawrid.
