color proofing, sophisticated pre-press<br />
that includes offset plates and screen<br />
process, and a pressroom that<br />
utilizes a range of Nilpeter and other<br />
manufacturers’ presses, as well a a total<br />
of five inspection machines.<br />
A division of IPE Group, Sleeve Direct,<br />
specializes in the printing of high quality<br />
shrinkable sleeve labels. ‘We offer a<br />
global service in the whole process,’ says<br />
Marco, ‘from the printing of the labels to<br />
the commercialization of the applicator<br />
machines and the hot air, steam and<br />
infrared sleeves shrinking tunnels.’<br />
All labels are made to strict quality<br />
controls standardized through an<br />
ISO 9001 certification, from receiving<br />
the raw material, through the<br />
different manufacturing processes<br />
and warehousing operations to the<br />
final control and shipment. Staffare<br />
continuously trained so that they<br />
are always up-to-date with the latest<br />
technologies, themes and recycling<br />
requirements.<br />
Not unsurprisingly, IPE is a member<br />
of various national and international<br />
associations from Finat to the Association<br />
of Continuous Feed Label Manufacturers<br />
(Anfec) in Spain, the Catalan Union of<br />
Graphic Industries and ATEF, a Spanish<br />
Technical Group. Currently, Marco is<br />
the president of the Young Managers<br />
Club of Finat – a club for young<br />
directors who interchange experiences<br />
and elaborate proposals to optimize<br />
company management, as well as the<br />
promotion and interchange of knowledge<br />
to lead the future of companies that<br />
are dedicated to the manufacture of<br />
self-adhesive labels.<br />
Marco commented, ‘We want to build<br />
THE COMPANY'S principles are innovation, quality and<br />
service. Everything is orientated to customer satisfaction<br />
the on-going future of Finat to supply<br />
training and experienced management<br />
for the label industry, and perhaps<br />
work towards eventually establishing a<br />
University or Institute of Labels.’<br />
Certainly there can be little doubt<br />
that the future of IPE – and of the label<br />
industry itself – should be in safe hands.<br />
