VBR All Service has been appointed as Edale’s distributor for Italy. It will supply the company’s flexo presses as well as providing consultancy, installation, operator training, technical assistance, preventive and corrective maintenance and spare parts, supporting converters in improving productivity and operational efficiency.

Lachlan Buirds, Edale managing director, commented: “Italy has one of Europe’s strongest label and packaging sectors, and we are seeing converters increasingly look at how they can automate more of their production, reduce complexity and improve efficiency. 

“VBR All Service gives us the local knowledge and technical expertise to build on that opportunity. For Italian converters, it means access to Edale technology supported by experienced local expertise, from the initial conversation through to installation, training and ongoing service.” 

Edale’s CartonLine FL6p press will form an important part of the partnership, the companies said. The platform brings printing and converting into a single integrated workflow, helping to simplify production, reduce handling and support efforts to optimise production time and operating costs. 

Corrado Voghera, owner and sales manager at VBR All Service, said: “This agreement represents an important milestone for VBR All Service and reinforces our commitment to bringing innovative technologies to Italian label and packaging converters. 

“We are particularly excited about the opportunities offered by the CartonLine FL6p. Its integrated printing and converting workflow can, for certain applications, replace what has traditionally required multiple machines and production stages, bringing these capabilities together in a single manufacturing platform. Combined with our expertise in sales, installation, technical support, maintenance and spare parts, we are confident this partnership can deliver significant value to our customers.”
