Collaboration Principle:

The Matti Group welcomes interested OEM partners to collaborate in the development of new presses. Only modules where the Matti Group is the sole owner of the intellectual property rights are made available to the OEM.

As a co-engineering partner, Matti will adapt and extend the existing designs to meet the specifications of the individual project at hand. As a next stage, the first prototypes of the customer’s specific design will be built and tested. After the design has been verified and signed off by the customer, Matti will, if requested or required, take the design through all necessary agency approvals (UL / TUV / EMC / Safety) before beginning series manufacturing.

Available Components:

Printing Modules: Mono / CMYK / CMYKK print modules from 220mm to > 1'000mm and webspeeds up to 250 mtrs/minute. Matti print modules work for paper and plastic substrates down to 20µm.

Dryer Modules: Dryers are a combination of IR / NIR and air and can be configured modularly. Matti IR dryers are particularily efficient through the use of proprietary TuneIR® technology.
