The screen printing process and the industry that employs this technology have changed markedly since Hans-Ulrich Grünig established a small business in 1967 to design and manufacture specialist screen preparation equipment. Over the intervening 50 years, the process has been exposed to various tendencies, changes and challenges, while Grünig-Interscreen has evolved from being a purely mechanical one man operation into a hightech business, serving the specialist needs of customers throughout the world.
Grünig celebates half century
Screen printing machine manufacturer Grünig (A4-B20) is celebrating its 50th anniversary at this year’s Fespa and its SignTronic division is launching a new Computer to Screen (CTS) machine. The family-run business celebrated the milestone at an exclusive event on Tuesday night (9 May), which was attended by Grünig founder Hans-Ulrich Grünig. “The success of such a small company on this high level is being part of a great team,” said Grünig export manager Hanny Gerber.
IMPRESSÃO SERIGRÁFICA DISTINGUE-SE!
Quem imaginaria, anos atrás, que a Impressão Serigráfica evoluísse para uma mudança tão significativa, ao ponto de até ser capaz de alcançar uma vantagem sobre a concorrência? Especialistas mundiais parecem ter tomado as suas decisões: a Impressão Digital incontestavelmente prevalecerá e substituirá progressivamente a maioria dos outros processos de impressão, ou pelo menos lhes trará consideráveis dificuldades.
Rapidamente se tornou evidente que impressão digital tem também as suas limitações, seja em termos qualitativos ou de custos”, quem o afirma é Andreas Ferndriger, CEO da SignTronic AG.
Who would have thought, years ago, that Screen Printing would evolve to a change so significant, to the point of even being able to achieve a competitive advantage? World experts seem to have taken their decisions: Digital Printing clearly takes precedence and will override the most other printing processes, or at least bring them considerable difficulties. It quickly became evident that Digital Printing also has its limitations, either in quality or costs, who claims is Andreas Ferndriger, CEO of SignTronic AG.
Building a hot business
Specialist Printing Worldwide joins a conversation with Lars Nilsson, Fredrik Skanselid and Tommy Forsberg about an inspiring growth story
Inspiring stories of creativity and growth seem solely focused on digital printing these days. But things are starting to change, not least the recent reports of growth from Sakurai. Lars Nilsson recently spoke to a Swedish company called Hot Screen, poised to invest in five new Sakurai machines, and discovered another growth story from the world of screen-printing.
Marking 50 memorable years
Grünig-Interscreen AG, a small but smart specialist in the screen printing industry, achieved this milestone in 2017
For 50 years already, Grünig has been dedicated to the professional screen preparation on a worldwide level. During all these years, the screen printing process has been exposed to various tendencies, changes and challenges. In the meantime, a lot has changed in this field as well as in the company: From the initial and purely mechanical oneman operation, it has evolved into a high-tech specialist.
Expertise in screen making
Andreas Ferndriger describes 50 years of screen printing innovation.
Founded in 1967 by H U Grünig, Grünig-Interscreen is celebrating 50 years of dedication to automating and standardising the screen making process. The company’s product range has been vastly extended under the management of Marcel Grünig and Andreas Ferndriger since 2002 and having entered a strategic partnership in 2011 with SignTronic AG, offers customers tailored overall solutions for the perfect printing screen.
Automation in screen cleaning
In the screen printing trade, there is a trend towards quality and automation, involving both decorative and functional printing. In most cases, the printing process itself is not even the problem; the difficulties start at a much earlier stage. It has become increasingly clear that a perfect screen not only solves many problems but gives the printer a decisive edge over competitors.
Highlighting prosperity for the portuguese textile industry
The performance of 2015 demonstrated that there had been a continuous and sustained series of strong sales growth abroad during the last four years. Portuguese textile exports grew more than 38% in the period highlighted from 2009 (the worst year for the last decade and a half) and this was a result of a restructuring that focused on new drives such as technological innovation, design, automation and advanced logistics, all of which were leveraged in service-intensive and strong investment in international awareness. In total, the sector exported €4.83 billion, and this showed an increase of about 5% compared with 2014.
Novas Exigências dos Mercados
O mundo da “Indústria de Impressão” vive tempos de enormes mudanças, quer seja pelas “novas exigências dos mercados”, pelo consequente reajuste às novas tecnologias digitais ou ainda pela exigência de fluxogramas industriais em automação.
