MacDermid Celebrates Addition of New Production Line

MORRISTOWN, TN—January 13, 2015—MacDermid Printing Solutions has opened a new photopolymer plate production line in Morristown, TN that almost doubles MacDermid's current production capacity. “Package printing is the fastest growing segment within the overall printing industry. The next logical step for us was to expand our manufacturing capacity. We are excited to show our continued commitment to the package printing industry with this new investment”, said Timothy Gotsick, Ph.D., company vice president and general manager.

The new 100-foot fully enclosed photopolymer plate production line, the first new line of its kind to be built in over a decade, features state-of-the-art technology including a twin-screw extruder, tank farm, calender, inspection system, laser marking machines, and UV lighting/treatment; all integrated within a single control system. Additionally, new energy efficient features within the line will help to reduce MacDermid’s per unit greenhouse gas emissions.
