Martin Automatic, a global supplier of nonstop unwind and rewind technology for the narrow web market and long-term supporter of Labelexpo, is showcasing its latest space-saving technology at Labelexpo Europe.

On working display are two of the company’s most popular machines in the narrow web sector, an MBS automatic unwind butt splicer and an LRD transfer rewinder. Both machines have been sold to German label printer Krämer Druck and will be delivered and installed directly after Labelexpo closes.

Creative use of the vertical festoon on the butt splicer and a proprietary roll unloading feature at the rewind save Krämer Druck nearly one meter of overall space in the running direction. Furthermore, these machines can be installed directly against walls at either end of the press and still allow access for the maintenance and roll loading and unloading, without the use of carts.

In addition to the innovative machinery on display, Martin Automatic is welcoming visitors to its newly designed stand and serving up some true American hospitality with its renowned hot dogs. Gavin Rittmeyer, VP of sales and marketing, Martin Automatic, comments, “After a four-year break, we are enjoying meeting friends old and new, and continuing our commitment to in-person working relationships with our longstanding sales team.”
