30 installations for Comexi Offset CI Evolution
Comexi has installed 30 CI Evolution flexible packaging and label offset presses worldwide, launched in 2015.
This stage is marked by several repeat orders, including four recent ones.

A plant in Côte d'Or to convert glassine into insulating material
The Soprema group has just inaugurated a new plant in Beaune (Côte-d'Or) dedicated to the manufacture of cellulose wadding, a biosourced insulating material produced from recycled paper and glassine.
Historically made from newspaper, the cellulose wadding produced in Beaune now includes glassine. Soprema has set up a specific collection circuit and obtains its supplies from local manufacturers and players. In Europe, annual glassine production is estimated at 550,000 tonnes.
The site, which required an investment of 30 million euros, should eventually employ around thirty people.
