Finally it’s here; The Polymount Film Cleaner, the first machine that enables printers to reuse their start-up material by cleaning printed film. In the first quarter of 2018 we will install the first couple of Film Cleaners. After introducing this ground-breaking concept at Drupa in 2016 we received a lot of interest.
Every printer we asked confirmed that the amount of start-up waste they could reduce by using our machine would have a significant impact on their profitability and sustainability.
With this is mind we kept improving and developing the Film Cleaner to absolute perfection, and now it's finally ready to hit the market! If you are interested in the performance and capabilities of our Film Cleaner, send us your material and we will run it through our machine. It is also possible to visit our Creation Center for a live demo with your material, simply contact one of our sales offices for more info.

On behalf of the whole Polymount team we wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!!

The total amount raised by all participants was over 10 Million Euro’s and we are very proud that we were able to contribute a considerable amount to this good cause; A day that no one dies of cancer!

On the 1st of June our Polymount team will participate in the Alpe D’huZes 2017, which is a charity event organized to raise money for the KWF (the Dutch Cancer Society) cancer research fund. During this charity event the participants will run, walk, or cycle up the Alpe d’Huez climb up to six times under the motto: ‘Giving up is not an option’. Currently we raised over 18.000 Euro for cancer research. Our goal is to raise over 30.000 Euro for the Dutch Cancer Society which they can use for cancer research. 

Folmex in Mexico have completely equipped their W&H press with Twinlock Sleeves. After a successful start-up, they found that the print results they obtained with our Twinlock Sleeves were better than the print results with mounting tape. They can also achieve higher press speeds compared to standard mounting tape, due to the better absorption of bouncing in the press with Twinlock. Another important factor contributing to the higher press speeds is the higher stability of Twinlock compared to mounting tape.

David Luna, director editorial en México de Carvajal Medios B2B, entrevistó a Orlando Pannocchia, vicepresidente de ventas de Polymount Latinoamérica, sobre su conferencia y participación en la primera Cumbre Latinoamericana de Innovación en Envases Plásticos.

The owner and the director of operations of Hexxa Flexible Packaging LLC visited our stand during Drupa last summer, after several demonstrations with our Twinlock Sleeves they understood that this was the most efficient way to equip their new MPS machine and also start their Flexo operation. Shortly after Drupa the head of operations visited our facility in Nijkerk and after seeing the production process and the accuracy of sleeves they were convinced to equip the whole machine with our self-adhesive Twinlock Sleeves.
