MEGTEC is a world leader in paper management and web handling, splicing and drying, with systems used on thousands of printing presses and packaging applications. MEGTEC provides the widest range of auxiliary press products for Commercial Printing, Newspaper Printing, Packaging, and the ever-expanding Digital Printing markets, enabling us to provide optimum solutions to each customer -- not a one-size-fits-all approach that might compromise quality, performance or efficiency.
Newspaper Printing
Multiple web Newspaper Printing requires roll and web handling that easily processes dozens of rolls per hour. The key requirement is that deadlines are consistently met to the hour because old news is no news. MEGTEC supplies moresplicers to newspapers than any other company. MEGTEC is the leading supplier of both zero- and match- speed models. MEGTEC is also the leader in introducing commercial heatset drying to newspapers.
This convergence of technologies has been driven by the need for newspapers to deliver value-added products printed on coated paper, and to print semi-commercial printing to increase press utilization. The company has many hundreds of heatset systems running on hybrid newspaper presses. Printers that endeavor to move into hybrid print production can retrofit their existing presses with affordable MEGTEC UV Curing Systems, allowing the printer to easily bridge the gap from newpapers to semi-commercial printing.
Commercial Printing
High quality Commercial Heatset Printing is a complex and demanding process that requires all components in a webline to be perfectly integrated and to deliver premium performance. MEGTEC is the leading global supplier of two essential sub-systems, roll-to-web splicing and tensioning, and heatset drying / oxidation. Robust reliability is essential for round-the-clock operation along with minimum waste and energy consumption, and full environmental compliance today and into the future. MEGTEC's proficiency in these areas demonstrate why most of the world's high volume offset presses run successfully with MEGTEC Systems' products.
Digital Printing
The digital world surrounds us all, and Digital Printing is certainly growing through aggressive technical adaptations within the printing industry. MEGTEC's vast experience in traditional print, and in a wide variety of non-printing industrial applications, has led us to a leadership position in the Digital Printing world. MEGTEC is able to deliver digital press manufacturers with proven product approaches in web handling, splicing, and drying blended with unique and innovative technologies to form leading-edge solutions. MEGTEC's capabilities span the entire digital press line, enabling complete integration possibilities. As digital presses are designed to produce higher levels of throughput -- running wider and faster -- the need for MEGTEC's expertise has become increasingly clear to the marketplace.
Packaging
Packaging is an expansive area with seemingly limitless applications for MEGTEC. MEGTEC can apply existing catalog products to many applications dealing with roll and web handling, non-contact turning, splicing, drying, curing, cooling and conditioning, or if specifications dictate, customize equipment to provide pinpoint solutions for the packaging customer. MEGTEC is also the leader in Environmental Systems -- with a full range of thermal oxidation and solvent recovery systems-- for the Packaging Industry. MEGTEC's experience ranges from flexible packaging to folding carton to an array of specialty coating applications within Packaging.
