Smurfit Kappa and HP to expand digital printing operations in Europe

The corrugated packaging firm based in Ireland, Smurfit Kappa, has installed HP Scitex presses across its sites in Europe to enhance its digital printing operations.
The eight presses have been installed in sites in Belgium, Denmark, France, Portugal, Poland, and the UK.
The printers – the HP Scitex 11000, HP Scitex 15500, and HP Scitex 17000 – enable time-efficiency through the capability of short runs which can then let the firm meet increasing demand.
“There is an industry-wide consensus that corrugated is ready for digital. We are using HP digital solutions in many of our plants to provide pioneering, market-leading solutions for our customers,” commented Edwin Goffard, Chief Operating Officer of Corrugated and Converting at Smurfit Kappa Group Europe.
