(Hwasung-City) have announced the creation of a new joint-venture company called Sam Pagendarm (Hamburg) that will supply extrusion-coating and gravure and flexo printing machines for the flexible packaging market. The company, which launched July 1, will also act as a service center for Sungan Machinery equipment supplied to Europe and South America.
In business for more than 50 years, Pagendarm builds coating systems, dryers, and moisturizers for the application of technical coatings to paper, film, and foil. In flexible packaging, Pagendarm supplies laminators used to create multi-layer laminates with a variety of substrates using water- or solvent-based adhesives, as well as solvent free. On April 19, the company appointed Dirk Dzelnitzki as the new deputy managing director, replacing Mechthild Wennemer, who had acted as interim managing director.
Established in 1960, Sungan Machinery is an international supplier of rotogravure printing and converting machinery. Since late 2004, SAM has increased focus on the U.S. market, establishing a local sales and service network in cooperation with Circonix for total electrical control, Diamond for extruders, and Cloeren Inc. for extrusion dies and feed block systems. The company also has a strategic alliance with Advanced Engineering Systems Pty Ltd. (AES) of Australia since July 2003. Earlier that year, Sungan Machinery also established a business partnership with Australia's CNC Design Pty. Ltd. (CNCDesign). In the U.S., the company has a relationship with Optex Process Solutions LLC (Optex). —[email protected]
