Xeikon has opened a second Technology Center in the Asia Pacific region to cater for its continued growth.

The new site is located in Tokyo and features Xeikon technology for the production of labels and packaging applications as well as for document and commercial printing applications, including the 3500 digital press, designed for folding carton printing.

Visitors will also be able to learn about the Xeikon CX3 – which will be launched at Labelexpo Europe – with Cheetah technology for high quality label printing; and the Xeikon 9800 for document printing solutions.

Wim Maes, Xeikon chief executive, said the company was seeing continued and unprecedented growth in the Asia Pacific region.

“We are especially pleased to be able to open this important Technology Center in Japan. This state-of-the-art facility will play an important role in spurring growth for Xeikon in Japan, and in helping our Japanese customers make the most of their investments in Xeikon.”

The facility will focus on testing, benchmarking and product demonstrations that the Japanese printing and packaging community has been requesting.

Bent Serritslev, managing director Xeikon Asia Pacific (ASPAC), added: “This Center is an important demonstration of Xeikon’s dedication to helping its customers stay ahead of developing trends with a broad portfolio of products and services in document and commercial printing as well as labels and packaging.”
