Flexo Wash is highlighting all of its standout technologies during Label Congress, which is taking place September 29-30 in Rosemont, IL, USA. In addition to focusing on its cleaning solutions, Flexo Wash experts are highlighting how they can help customers faced with unprecedented labor challenges, predominantly present during the pandemic.

According to Flexo Wash, automating cleaning systems are crucial now for many reasons – and these are the discussions the company is having with attendees at the show. “If customers are facing increased production demands and decreased labor, cleaning systems can help optimize your production and print quality,” explains Patrick Potter, president of Flexo Wash. “If they’re facing slower times, automating this cleaning process frees your labor force to be utilized in other areas of the business. The ROI is very quick and usually the deciding factor for companies looking to purchase the machine.”

Label Congress has provided the perfect venue for these conversations. “It feels right, it feels safe, and the scaled-back Label Congress feels very appropriate,” states Potter. “We are cautiously optimistic for a great couple of days. While all these shows can be done virtually — as we have found over the last year — it is not optimal. There is no substitute for in-person meetings and networking. So much of our business is word of mouth, testimonials and feedback from our customers and prospects. Tradeshows allow us to address all of the questions and needs of the industry as a whole in a communal setting.”

Sustainability has also been a key topic for Flexo Wash during the first day of Label Congress. Flexo Wash emphasizes the need to evaluate your current cleaning process in the quest to become more sustainable. All of the company’s products are continuously optimized to ensure better reuse and less consumption of both water and cleaning liquid. 

“Flexo Wash has all the cleaning technology and cleaning solutions to help converters print better, with increased quality, efficiency and in a safer, more sustainable working environment,” comments Potter. “With Flexo Wash you can choose the best and most environmentally-friendly solution for your operation. Our Flexo Wash Laser Anilox Cleaners offer a total waste-free solution. In addition to new products and built-in upgrades, we have a line of environmental solutions that can be combined with the different Flexo Wash cleaning units to reduce the water and/or liquid consumption.”

Flexo Wash has continued to innovate despite the challenges over the last 18 months. “Initially, we were concerned that our customers would not want to invest in new technology during uncertain times. We were wrong,” notes Potter. “The significance of automating the cleaning process became paramount, especially during this time and we were ready to help. Our team rose to the challenge. When the world shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, Flexo Wash kept working.  As a key supplier to this essential printing and packaging industry, Flexo Wash reacted and adapted quickly to its customers’ needs. Our customers did not need one more supply challenge so Flexo Wash maintained and ensured a steady inventory and supply stream to meet the industry’s increased needs.”
