Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) and MK Masterwork (MK) recently presented the new Diana Go folder gluer for the growing packaging market. The Diana Go was developed on the basis of Heidelberg’s market requirements by the MK development team in Neuss, Germany, and offers both commercial and packaging printers a cost-effective, flexible and productive entry-level machine with a comparatively small footprint.
It can run a wide range of carton styles such as straightline and lockbottom as well as optionally special styles such as envelopes or CD covers. The Diana Go can hit a top speed of 250m/min in a machine just over 9 metres long. It was presented at an open house event in MK’s European factory in Slovakia. Among the European packaging printers taking part were representatives from the companies that have already signed the first contracts for three serial production machines. The tour of Production and Assembly as well as the presentation of the Diana Go confirmed to the companies once again that their faith in MK and Heidelberg to deliver a machine that lives up to their expectations will be fully satisfied.
The optionally integrated glue, inspection and ejector systems ensure high production quality. Designed for customers needing higher productivity and the ability to offer an expanded portfolio of products to their clients, the Diana Go is attractively priced to ensure a high return on investment in a very competitive market. As a result of technology transfer, the Diana Go has many design features present in the high-performance folder gluers of the Diana series to ensure reliable performance and peace of mind.
Coming less than two years after the introduction of the successful Diana Easy, the new Diana Go has now been added to the portfolio of postpress machines. The model completes the portfolio of folder gluer models developed and produced by MK and sold via Heidelberg. Service is also provided via Heidelberg.
The success of the cooperation between Heidelberg and MK Masterwork is founded on the perfect fit between the two companies’ core strengths. MK Masterwork is the largest manufacturer of post-press equipment in the Asian region and has invested heavily in the manufacturing and R&D capacity needed to meet the demands of customers in the growing packaging market. With its global sales and service infrastructure, Heidelberg provides a worldwide distribution channel for MK Masterwork.
