Background
Nordic Plastic Group is the Nordic region's largest supplier of components and finished plastic products. They are based in Trelleborg but also have a production unit in Helsingborg. Their range consists of plates, tubes, rods, profiles, foils and other types of accessories. Their customers range from large global companies to small and medium-sized companies operating in a variety of industries - including automotive, steel, food and medical technology. They deliver mainly within the Nordic region, but also export to other European countries as well as to China and the USA.
The Challenge
One August day, Logimark meets four employees at Nordic Plastic Group – production manager Daniel Rubin, foreman Mattias Nilsson, and Victor Persson and Carl-Johan Nilsson who work in their workshop. About a year ago, just when Nordic Plastic needed to replace their marking machine, they discovered Logimark. Their current machine did not meet their requirements, had quality deficiencies, and needed a lot of service. Daniel Rubin, production manager, explains:
– In connection with the poor quality of the previous marking machine, our customers came to place higher demands on the marking. That we should not only label with text but also label their logo and the like. Therefore, there was a need to have a more modern marking machine.
Logimark's solution
Linx 8900 is a flexible inkjet printer that can print up to five lines, logos, barcodes and the like. It is easy to use and clean and requires minimal maintenance. The advantage is that the customer can perform the service themselves with a service module and therefore does not have to wait for a service technician. The machine is also equipped with a 10” color touch screen, which is easy to navigate. In Nordic Plastics' case, the operator first sets what is to be marked on the screen, for example logo and text. Then, using a hand conveyor where the inkjet head is connected, the plastic product is placed and then the hand conveyor is moved to the side and the plastic is ink marked with the programmed text and logo. The ink dries in under a second, which simplifies production.
Results
Victor Persson, who works in the workshop and uses the machine, says:
– We needed to print logos that were as small as possible, but with the previous inkjet printer it just left a small black spot. With the Linx 8900, however, it works without any problems.
Customer review
Everyone agrees that their marking needs have been met, but that it has not only been about buying a marking machine. It was also important that the company they were going to buy from not only sold a machine but also nurtured its customer relationships. With Logimark as a marking machine supplier, Nordic Plastic feels that it has worked out excellently, both with the choice of inkjet printer but also the availability of service and spare parts.
Mattias Nilsson, supervisor, and Carl-Johan Nilsson, working in the craft workshop, say:
– The best thing about this machine is that it is very easy to use. Anyone can go in and use it. Our previous machine was impossible, in the end there were only three or four of us who could use it. With the Linx 8900 everything works perfectly and it has made our production easier.
