Packaging Solutions
When it comes to introducing new machinery into a business, simplicity and support are key. This is what Qualvis found when it decided to partner with the leading Swiss packaging technology company Bobst on upgrading its die cutting equipment.
After a two decade long relationship with its previous equipment supplier, Qualvis felt the need to explore innovative solutions in the market. Intrigued by Bobst's reputation as a reliable converting equipment provider, the company agreed to visit the supplier’s demo centre.
The hands-on experience at Bobst's demo site was nothing short of transformative for Qualvis. So impressed was the team with the Novacut 106 E – a die cutting machine known for its versatility and efficiency – that it opted to acquire not one, but two of these machines simultaneously. Additionally, Qualvis invested in Bobst's platen condition kit, empowering its operators to maintain peak performance levels.
Marcus Short, joint managing director of Qualvis, said: ‘Bobst's demo centre allowed us to rigorously test the machines, and having tested two challenging jobs, they passed with flying colours. The entire process reaffirmed that we were making the right choice.’
The Novacut 106 E offers converters a system capable of delivering both productivity and versatility without compromise. The operator friendly machine ensures great product quality while helping converters save time and money, with a high level of automation increasing uptime and precision. Combined with access to tooling solutions, and the service and spare parts networks, the Novacut 106 E offers a truly agile solution.
Qualvis has also benefited from training. Having never taken part in official training before, its operators were each doing everything slightly differently. Bobst also provided invaluable training to operators, standardising procedures and introducing new areas of expertise like zonal patching and regular maintenance. As a result, Qualvis has already begun to experience remarkable efficiency gains.
‘At the demo centre we saw that even our difficult jobs could run at top speeds on the Bobst machines – we are really hitting those top speeds in the manufacturing environment,’ said Marcus. ‘We can’t fault the quality of the machines. They look absolutely fantastic in our company.
‘The due diligence of Bobst is encouraging so we know we will be choosing the right machine for our company. We know that they are trustworthy and we won’t be over sold. We feel like it is a much better customer-supplier relationship than we have ever experienced before.’
