Kern AG and Hunkeler AG have agreed to cooperate more closely in the future


Kern AG, Konolfingen and Hunkeler AG, Wikon, two traditional Swiss companies, have agreed to cooperate more closely in the future - creating synergies benefitting both entities.

Kodak’s proprietary Ultrastream Continuous Inkjet Technology delivers 600x1800dpi with production speeds of up to 150mpm uniquely utilizing environmentally-friendly and economic water-based inks on both plastics and paper.

Uteco first introduced Sapphire EVO Solutions in June 2018 which has captured the interest of the industry for both performance and sustainability and continues to be an important part of their digital portfolio. Uteco will be among the first equipment manufacturers to utilize Kodak Ultrastream Technology to expand their high productivity digital press portfolio for flexible packaging in 2020.

“Today, printing companies know that inkjet is a big part of the future of their business. The question becomes whether they have the infrastructure and support for inkjet to propel their business forward,” said Shinichi Yoshida, executive vice president and general manager, Canon U.S.A. Inc. “At Canon, we have not only invested in our product portfolio to help address our customers’ evolving needs, but we’ve also placed a priority on the consultation, service and support we provide to help ensure that our customers are well prepared to see the benefits of their investment. I think that has been a big factor in getting us to where we are today.”

Randy Vandagriff, President Enterprise Inkjet Systems Division, Kodak, adds: “We are pleased that Uteco continues to partner with Kodak as we develop solutions for the packaging market. The unique benefits offered by the Sapphire EVO Solution will showcase how Kodak Stream Inkjet Technology is addressing the use of digital printing for flexible packaging solutions. As we look ahead to drupa 2020 and beyond, we are excited that Uteco will be including Ultrastream Technology based solutions in its product portfolio to deliver even more flexible packaging options for both converters and brands.
