Innovation at the center
We innovate in all our activities
At Uteco, innovation is constant and affects the whole production cycle. In the manufacturing industry, innovating means reaching high automation supporting people, ensuring greater precision and, consequently, greater safety in working with machines. For us, in particular, the commitment to innovate is functional to the research and development of solutions, products, technologies and services, aimed at satisfying the different customers’ needs while keeping high efficiency and quality standards.
We carry out cutting-edge studies in digital print, which we introduced among our printing technologies so to design solutions that guarantee the maximum flexibility.
We promote the scientific and technological research in order to realize machines and processes which are also respectful of the environment, of the customers’ safety and of their operators’ health.
Innovation is at the heart of the processes of design and internal production
All the production machines are equipped with the calculation software Overall Equipment Effectiveness (O.E.E), that monitors the efficiency data during the production cycle allowing to reduce the non productive times at the minimum. The machines are connected to each other by a remote pc that receives and catalogs the information, also communicating to the machine manufacturer. In this way the communication and monitoring cycle is continuous and in real time.
Our customers have a constant communication channel with us, both in the product design phase and in the remote after-sales support, thanks to the digital interfaces on our machines. Behind their functioning there are the two data collection and analysis systems Uteco Data Acquisition Analysis (U.D.A.A.) and Data Collection, which returns data to customers via web interface*.
The design process takes advantage of 3D mechanical design software and structural calculation software, which predict in advance the functionalities of the end product.
As regards the product life cycle management, in order to involve all company sectors across the board, we have planned investments in a system that, besides the design, the support and the delivering of products, allows to create a coherent data structure thanks to which the company can make unified decisions at every stage of the product life cycle.

Innovation in the corporate processes
We manage customer relations with a smart CRM software which is able to automate business processes that involve the direct contact with the customer, taking advantage of data extraction to improve the knowledge about the customer itself. People management, online and on the go, is also entirely carried out with computerized systems.
Tailor-made innovation applied to printing and converting
Flexo, rotogravure, digital, coating and laminating: our machines meet every need thanks to the most advanced technologies available in this sector.
Flexographic printing machines
Uteco flexographic machines are the best expression of years of research committed into finding innovative solutions addressed to the most various printing demands.
We provide seven flexo presses lines. With these, we are able to meet different printing run needs: from the very short, with the compact machines Onyx XS, to the bigger ones, with Diamond HP and Crystal machines. We cover a wide variety of industries and end-use sectors – from flexible packaging for pharmaceuticals to industrial bags – focusing in particular on sustainable and energy saving printing processes, and on...
Digital printing machines
We introduce new cutting-edge technologies capable of getting better and more efficient printing processes. The research we conducted in the digital printing field has led to so advanced machines as to combine all advantages of digital technologies – resulting in reduced production times and costs – with a very high printing quality, comparable to the flexo, roto and offset quality performances.
Uteco Sapphire EVO line is the latest generation of digital printing machines for flexible packaging on many types of material: from aluminum to paper and cardboard, up to plastic, including...
Rotogravure presses
The experience gained over the years has led us into developing and implementing efficient and cutting-edge solutions capable of satisfying the needs of the most diverse customers.
To date, our roto range is made of three rotogravure printing presses lines, all equipped with the most modern technologies coming from Uteco’s internal research. Next 450, Next 350 and NXS 300 express at their best our innovation process: a very high print quality and the possibility of customizing features according to specific customers’ demands.
Our rotogravure presses guarantee limited...
Coaters and Laminators
These special machines are the result of a complete synergy between our engineering skills and our technological systems, which we already tested in other printing fields widely.
We provide several coaters and laminators capable of working on different substrates, such as film, paper, aluminum, cardboard, PVC, suitable for food and pharmaceutical packaging, as well as for products of the security and construction sectors (e.g., the substrate that covers roofs); they are also intended for the production of laminated aluminum-paper for cigarette packages, adhesive tapes and label...
Stack In line flexographic printing machines
In line flexo presses – Diamond SIL, Crystal SIL, Onyx SIL – complete our wide range of flexographic printing machines, featuring a high speed, highly automated and flexible product line. In line machines can be supplied with different number of colors, drying systems, winders, and suitable to print different types of inks.
Our three SIL flexo printing machines are specifically intended for customers aiming to diversify their presence into the packaging market, thus expanding their offer and increasing opportunities as well as their growth potential.
