Print finishing equipment manufacturer A B Graphic International (ABG) will reinforce its commitment to the US market and the expanding digital print and packaging sector at Dscoop Edge Long Beach, taking place from May 14-17, 2025.

As a founding Dscoop partner, ABG will exhibit at stand 645, directly across from HP, presenting the very best in digital print and finishing innovation. With North America playing a central role in ABG’s global strategy, the event offers a key opportunity to connect with both existing and prospective customers in the digital label and flexible packaging sectors.

On display will be a selection of high-speed, advanced finishing solutions, including two machines tailored for the growing shrink sleeve segment – an area of increasing interest for label and flexpack manufacturers. ABG’s North American operations manager, Jim Kehring, will deliver  multiple expert presentations from the stand, offering valuable insights into the company’s technologies and latest automation advancements.

Among the featured systems is the Digicon Series 3 with patented Fast Track Die, ABG’s flagship digital finishing solution. The Fast Track Die is the world’s fastest semi-rotary die-cutting module, capable of running at speeds of up to 180 meters per minute, making it ideal for high-volume applications. Paired with digital presses like the HP Indigo V12 digital press, it ensures outstanding levels of accuracy and productivity. Also on display will be the SR610 Seaming Rewinder, which is part of ABG’s sleeving technology suite. This solution transforms flat reels into sleeves and utilizes proprietary Smart Wheel technology for consistent high-quality welds, delivering excellent performance for demanding applications. Complementing this is the TSR750 Turreted Seaming Rewinder, which also features Smart Wheel technology and offers uninterrupted operation thanks to its turret design. With dual solvent tanks and quick-change features, it maximises productivity and operational efficiency.

These systems represent just a part of ABG’s extensive finishing portfolio, which includes non-stop winding solutions, laser die-cutting, RFID integration, premium embellishment systems, industry-leading turret rewinders, and robust inspection technologies. All solutions are designed and manufactured in-house to ensure consistent quality and high performance across production lines.

“We are proud to be a longstanding Dscoop partner and look forward to reconnecting with customers and forming new relationships at this year’s Edge conference,” comments Al Spendlow, ABG’s North American managing director. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate our market-leading solutions and reaffirm our long-term investment in the region.”

ABG’s participation in Dscoop Edge Long Beach aligns with its broader strategic focus on North America. As part of this, ABG has announced its upcoming “ABG Summit 2025,” set to take place in September at the company’s USA headquarters in Elgin, Illinois. Designed to spotlight innovation, the open house event will offer an immersive experience through live equipment showcases, technical presentations and a central automation theme, reflecting a key focus of ABG’s R&D and its customers’ future requirements. Further details on ABG Summit 2025 will be shared in the coming months.
