New Rhyguan system expands our production capabilities
In September 2026, we strategically expanded our digital printing department and commissioned a new Rhyguan TOP450PLUS3 post-press system. With this step, we are continuing our commitment to strategically leveraging modern technologies to offer our customers even greater flexibility, quality, and process reliability.
Just a few months earlier, we had successfully installed a Rhyguan Smart450 inspection machine. Our positive experience with the machine in daily use, the close technical collaboration, and the systems’ high reliability led us to choose this technology once again.
A customized solution for our needs
The new digital finishing line was specifically tailored to Kolbe-Coloco’s requirements. With its extensive range of features, it enables highly flexible finishing of a wide variety of label and roll products and helps us meet even the most demanding customer requirements cost-effectively and efficiently.
Features include, among other things:
- Flexographic Printing and Die-Cutting Unit (semi- and fully rotary)
- Camera Inspection System with TubeScan
- Corona Pretreatment
- Lamination unit for cold foil applications
- Automatic Knife Positioning
- Semi-Turret Winding System
- Additional winding and waste paper management systems
With this new system, we are increasing both production reliability and our flexibility when it comes to small and medium-sized print runs as well as customized print products.
More opportunities for our customers
This investment is another step in our ongoing modernization efforts. It enables faster setup processes, even stricter quality control, and additional finishing and processing options.
This benefits our customers in the food, beverage, cosmetics, chemical, and consumer goods industries in particular, as they increasingly require flexible, high-quality label solutions that are available on short notice.
Continuous Improvement
For us, technological innovations are key to remaining a high-performing and reliable partner for our customers in the future. By expanding our digital printing and finishing capabilities, we are creating additional capacity and making targeted investments in the future of our Versmold facility.
We look forward to working with our customers to take advantage of these new opportunities in future projects.
