Spanish corrugated packaging manufacturer Hinojosa Group adds EFI Nozomi C18000

The Hinojosa Group, a manufacturer of corrugated cardboard in Spain, is expanding its single-pass digital printing capacity with the new EFI Nozomi C18000 for Cartonajes Bernabéu, the group’s largest production plant, with installation expected in September.

With this new purchase, The Hinojosa Group will have four EFI Nozomi printers in its facilities. This consolidates the growth of the company’s digital strategy, and makes it the corrugated cardboard packaging manufacturer with the world’s largest direct-to-board digital capacity, the manufacturer explains. The Cartonajes Bernabéu plant now has flexo post-print and flexo pre-print, offset and digital printing capabilities.

As the CEO of The Hinojosa Group said, “Hinojosa has always aimed to be at the forefront and to implement cutting-edge digital printing as a way to differentiate our company from others; we could not have reached this point without such an important partner as EFI.”
 
Hinojosa, which has twelve production plants in Spain, closed 2018 with a turnover of 399 million euros.

“Thanks to the incorporation of the EFI Nozomi C18000, we are expanding our technological capacity and will now have far greater flexibility, adaptability, quality and customization, among many other competitive advantages that we can offer our customers through digital printing,” says CEO and Managing Director of Cartonajes Bernabéu.
 
“This new acquisition reflects the group’s strong commitment to quality, sustainability and added value for its customers,” says José Luis Ramón Moreno, Vice President and General Manager of EFI Industrial Printing. “Digital print adoption in corrugated is one of the most important and fastest-growing trends in the global print and packaging industries as it addresses longstanding inefficiencies, and EFI is committed to meeting global demand to help drive that transition.”
