Massilly North America invests in new Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint coating line

Massilly North America, a global metal packaging manufacturing and distribution company headquartered in Brantford, Ont., and serving North and South America, is investing in a new MetalCoat 470 free standing coating line from Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint.

“Our clientele is a variety of customers in Canada, the U.S., and Central/South America, from small producers and national co-packers to major multinational distributors and brands that require metal twist-off closures for the North American market,” says Garnet Lasby, president of Massilly North America. “To satisfy the high demands of our customers who require accurate register of spot-coated metal sheets, we chose to invest in the MetalCoat 470. We believe the new MetalCoat 470 and its coating head will provide the ultimate precision and minimize our coating consumption. “Its generous sheet format of up to 1000 x 1200 mm (39 x 47 in.), faster makeready, and high running speeds will contribute to the optimization of our production process.”

“Our flat sheet drying technology is ideally suited for organizations that wish to produce large volumes of products as efficiently and cost effectively as possible,” says Sam Pernice, director of sales and service, North America. “The heavy-duty design, a hallmark of all Koenig & Bauer machinery, ensures Massilly of many years of producing the highest quality.”
