Yavne, January 5, 2021: With a slogan like “Restless since 1851” it’s no surprise that Linney in Mansfield, UK has installed the first Highcon® Beam 2 digital cutting and creasing machine in the UK, trained their staff and already ramped up production even during an exceptionally challenging year for all companies.

Covid-19 has dramatically changed the way everything is done these days and for Linney, their agility aligned perfectly with Highcon’s agile production promise.

The Highcon Beam 2 digital cutting and creasing solution was developed as a robust solution to the challenges facing folding carton converters and print service providers who are expanding their services in packaging and retail displays. The Highcon solutions are all about agility and sustainability, enabling the replacement of the expensive and slow conventional die-making and setup process with a digital technology that delivers improved responsiveness, design flexibility and the ability to perform a wide range of applications in-house.

Charles Linney, Executive Director said: “Linney is proud to be the first in the UK with the Highcon Beam 2. We are constantly on the lookout for ways to innovate and to identify production improvements that will improve speed to market for our clients, including some global brands in the beauty and health industry, giving them the edge over their competitors. Finding the best way to do things is a pivotal part of our culture. Our investment strategy is about insourcing more to give greater production and quality control and the Beam 2 is about three times more productive than a traditional analogue device. The time to create make-readies is now reduced to minutes rather than days! The Highcon team installed the machine, trained the operators, and guided our team over the course of days, ensuring consistent high-quality production and time savings. The machine performance and their consultative approach are highly professional and effective and our whole team takes great pride in our new capabilities delivering high quality on-shelf display products, as well as gifting and packaging materials to top brands every day.”

Jens Henrik Osmundsen, Highcon VP Sales & GM EMEA said: “We have been very impressed by the speed with which Linney has adopted our technology. They are already running three shifts, producing numerous jobs for their top tier clients in health, beauty and cosmetics, including on-shelf tray displays and personalized packaging for the gift market. More than anything else, we have been delighted with the positive reactions we have received not only about the process and efficiency from Linney’s management but also from their design staff and operators – the people who make the machine sing!”
