The company has installed Nordmeccanica Super Combi 4000 laminator, a coater/laminator combination, at the firm’s Jefferson location in Wisconsin, US to expand its product offering for meeting major packaging requirements.
The laminator is touted to be the first of its kind at the firm’s Jefferson facility, and the third overall Nordmeccanica laminator for Kendall.

Cold seal feature offered by the system will provide various benefits to the customers, including high production speeds, sealing with no heat and advanced web handling technology.
