Our history with the printing industry goes back even further than Addit Sp. z o.o. itself and originated over 40 years ago in the Netherlands. For more than 30 years in Węgrów, we have supported manufacturers of industrial printing systems for paper, film, cardboard, metal, and other materials used in modern industrial printing processes. We deliver solutions for advanced inkjet, flexographic, and gravure printing machines used in the packaging, commercial printing, and industrial sectors.
The printing industry is one of the most demanding sectors in terms of manufacturing precision, geometric stability, and process repeatability. In modern printing systems, even the smallest geometric deviations can affect print quality, web handling accuracy, and the operational stability of the entire machine.
Addit supports customers not only as a component supplier but also as a partner delivering complete modules and assemblies ready for direct integration into finished device. We combine precision sheet metal fabrication, welded structure manufacturing, tube and profile processing, machining, advanced surface treatment technologies, mechanical and electrical assembly, and comprehensive supply chain management.
Thanks to our advanced manufacturing and quality capabilities, we deliver both individual components and complete modules for industrial printing equipment operating continuously in 24/7 environments, ensuring the highest level of manufacturing precision, quality consistency, and readiness for direct installation at the end customer’s facility.
Printing Industry Requirements Addressed by Addit
High Product Variation and Frequent Engineering Revisions
The printing industry is characterized by a high diversity of machine configurations and frequent engineering changes driven by technological development and end-user requirements.
Requirements include:
- management of a large number of part and module variants
- rapid implementation of engineering changes
- flexible organization of low-volume production
- minimization of setup times despite high component diversity
Highest Manufacturing Precision and Geometric Stability
Modern industrial printing systems require extremely high manufacturing accuracy of components responsible for web handling and overall process stability.
The industry requires:
- tight tolerances for paper and film guiding components
- highly precise fit and alignment of assembly components
- tight geometric tolerances for welded structures
- geometric stability
- repeatable manufacturing parameters for serial production
Functional Surface Requirements
Components used in paper and film handling systems directly affect print process stability, material positioning accuracy, and machine reliability. Surface quality impacts not only component durability but also the precision of material transport within the machine and the repeatability of the printing process.
The industry requires:
- burr-free surfaces with no scratches or tooling marks
- controlled geometry of sliding surfaces
- high-quality nickel-plated surfaces
- high-quality PTFE-coated surfaces
Superior Aesthetics and Surface Finish Quality
Customers expect the highest level of aesthetics, consistency, and surface finish quality regardless of production batch size.
The industry requires:
- superior finish quality of painted components
- uniform surface appearance and premium finish quality of visible parts
- high-quality finishing of stainless steel and acid-resistant stainless steel components
- consistent visual appearance across production batches
Leak Tightness and Operational Durability
In flexographic and gravure printing systems, leak tightness and resistance to demanding operating conditions are critical factors.
The industry requires:
- 100% controlled leak tightness of trays and tanks
- high-quality welding of thin stainless steel and acid-resistant steel sheet metal
- chemical resistance of materials and surfaces
- durability during continuous 24/7 operation
- stable operating performance over many years of service
Just-in-Time Delivery and Global Logistics
Machine assembly at customer sites is typically performed in takt-based production environments where line stoppages generate significant costs.
The industry requires:
- Just-in-Time deliveries
- consistently high quality without additional incoming inspection by the customer
- modules ready for direct installation
- packaging and protection suitable for road and sea transportation
- complete quality documentation and inspection checklists
