Screen Europe inaugurates new HQ

Screen Europe has unveiled  new headquarters and its new Inkjet Innovation Center (IIC) in Aalsmeer, the Netherlands, with a ‘Grand Opening’ exhibit late last month. For the first time, the manufacturer of inkjet digital printing equipment showcases all its series of presses for label, packaging, commercial and CtP printing in one room.  

More than 100 customers, sales agents, partners and local community representatives attended the celebratory event at Screen Europe’s new headquarters. 

‘Establishing the IIC reflects our confidence in the status of the printing industry and Screen’s position as a leading player in the market for inkjet digital printing equipment,’ said Eiji Kakiuchi, chairman Screen Holdings. ‘We overgrew our previous building due to our solid and steady growth in existing inkjet and CTP markets and also needed more space for the next wave of industrial inkjet digital innovations for both existing markets, such as label and commercial, as well as new markets such as flexible packaging.’  

In the 2,000sqm showroom and demonstration center, visitors can explore Screen's inkjet digital printing products across three distinct product lines: Truepress JET for commercial printing and direct mail, Truepress Label for label printing, and the new Truepress PAC range for flexible packaging. The new IIC also showcases Screen's CtP product range. 

Osamu Yamagata, president Screen Europe, said: ‘In addition to showcasing our expanding range of digital printers, the Inkjet Innovation Center will serve as a hub for innovations in digital printing. Collaborating closely with our software and finishing partners, our aim is to provide customers with end-to-end printing solutions, offering a glimpse into the future of the printing industry.’  

Screen Europe was honored to host distinguished guests, including AJ Kakiuchi, chairman of Screen Holdings, Yukiyoshi Tanaka, president Screen Graphic Solutions, and Takanori Kakita, advisor of Screen Graphic Solutions, alongside the esteemed Mayor of Aalsmeer, Gido Oude Kotte, for a momentous ribbon-cutting ceremony at the official grand opening event. Japanese drummers marked the occasion with a thrilling performance of traditional Taiko drums.
