Landa Digital Printing announced that global automotive aftermarket supplier Brake Parts Inc. (BPI) has installed a Landa S10 Nanographic Printing Press. The new B1 digital press is being used to print 80% of the company’s 10,000 SKU’s/packaging items.
Eliminating holdups for color and make ready, according to BPI, the Landa S10 has made it possible to create high-quality products at the lowest production costs for the company. Installed in October 2023, the Landa S10 is housed in BPI’s Ciudad Juarez, Mexico plant.
Since moving short- to medium-run jobs to the Landa press, BPI has been able to re-utilize its offset presses to improve overall plant productivity by three times. This has enabled the company to reduce costs, be more responsive to market opportunities, and better meet the challenges of the global economy.
“Over the last few years, production growth and an increasing variety of SKUs made a new printing platform necessary,” said Claudio Saenz, VP of operations, BPI. “While we will continue to produce long runs on three offset presses, it was clear that we needed a flexible solution that could support faster turnaround for a wider variety of run lengths – but, without sacrificing the color quality customers are used to. After evaluating several digital printing options, we chose the Landa S10.”
Today, the Landa S10 is running three shifts, seven days a week, and printing a wide variety of boxes and run lengths for BPI customers.
Recently, Landa Digital Printing has launched the S11 Nanographic Printing Press, the successor of the S10 press, encompassing all upgrades of the platform along with optional modules for increased productivity and AI capabilities.
“We are proud that the Landa S10 has supported such impressive productivity gains in so short a time,” said Sharon Cohen, chief business officer, Landa Digital Printing. “In challenging global economic environments, this is critical for businesses like BPI who need to maximize sales while also reducing operational expenditure.”
