Platemaking partners drive production excellence

KB Polymers describes DuPont Cyrel as a reliable plate technology business partner for over 20 years. The division has invested in three state-of-the-art 3000 series flexo platemaking machines: an Evo exposure unit, solvent processor and light finisher.

As one of the longest-standing names in photopolymer plate production, primarily for the packaging industry, KB Polymers has evolved into more than a high-quality plate supplier. ‘Our team’s design, artwork creation and origination expertise, in conjunction with DuPont Cyrel’s cutting edge software and production technology, add value to brand owners and their converters,’ maintains KB Group operations manager, Ricky Maconi. ‘Our sales consultants have the knowledge and technical backup support to solve customers’ most challenging origination and production issues. Many of our dedicated and well-trained staff complement, who started their careers with Kiley Baker 20 to 30 years ago, have continuously honed their technical skills to stay up to date with technological advances.’

MD Rew Wannenburg reports that although there have been many challenges through the years, the Covid-19 pandemic has tested the resilience of the group’s team as well as that of its customers and suppliers.
