In celebration of its 70th anniversary and to showcase its recently opened manufacturing facility, A B Graphic International (ABG), hosted a three-day open house event.

Over the duration, the company welcomed more than 150 customers from 16 different countries, conducted 294 exclusive machine demonstrations and laid on 42 factory tours.

Having assembled in York, guests were transported to ABG’s new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Kelleythorpe, Driffield. There, a factory tour highlighted a variety of cutting-edge machinery in its world-class machine shop, as well as a range of never seen before innovations.

ABG also demonstrated recently launched solutions such as its 4th generation Converter and Vectra AutoSet Turret Rewinder, as well as the SRI3 and ABG’s own camera inspection system, fleyeVision.

The tour continued at ABG’s Carnaby headquarters, where visitors were introduced to the latest developments in Digicon Series 3 technology, featuring the new Automatic Matrix Stripping, Fast Track Die and Flexo technology.

Other solutions on display included ABG’s DigiLase digital laser die-cutting solution and DigiJet for digital embellishment, which, alongside other advanced machines, highlight ABG’s ongoing commitment to improving productivity and efficiency for their customers, especially through automation.

The event also featured a special dinner and networking opportunity, celebrating ABG’s rich history from 1954 to the present.

Reflecting on the success of the event, Zenna Parfaniuk, managing director of The Label Makers, a long-time ABG customer, said: “ABG and The Label Makers share a long history and it was fantastic to be part of both ABG’s 70th anniversary celebrations and witness their latest innovations. The new Kelleythorpe site is impressive and in true ABG style, they made sure we were looked after from start to finish. It’s clear that their commitment to advancing technology continues to shape the future of the industry.”
