Marvaco hits top score at Flint Group’s FlexoExpert certification programme

Marvaco is the leading pre-press house and biggest flexo plate producer in the Nordic countries with 90 employees in seven locations. Marvaco’s plate making unit in Sunne, Sweden, has successfully concluded the final audit of Flint Group’s FlexoExpert certification programme with a global top score.

”Marvaco got one of the highest scores a repro house can get as first time qualification”, says Friedrich von Rechteren, Global Commercial VP, Flint Group.

The other Marvaco sites are following in the certification process. During a six-month process consisting of three main steps – evaluation, implementation and training, and auditing – FlexoExpert provides the means by which plate makers can further optimize their workflow to make more reliable and consistent plates. During the last half a year Marvaco implemented the programme and passed the final audit with a top score! Marvaco’s three plate making sites in the Nordic countries are going through the standardization program of the flexo platemaking process and are looking forward to earn the FlexoExpert certification.

Jan Viberg, General Manager of Marvaco Sweden says, “Most of the colleagues have contributed to this success, but the main and most dedicated work is done by the plate room personnel as they have adapted this into our ordinary quality processes. We are naturally very proud of the result. We have always heard from our suppliers that our unit in Sunne has high standards in flexo plate production and we are very happy that this now has been officially verified. The FlexoExpert programme will be used as our common platform to get the same level of standards across our plate production units”.
