Under the motto "Digitally connected. Intelligently controlled. Perfectly cured", IST METZ will be exhibiting at Labelexpo Europe 2025 with two stands and a comprehensive technology portfolio. Together with IST INTECH, the company will be showcasing the full range of modern UV, LED and excimer technology, while its sister company from the UK will be presenting specialized solutions for digital label printing.
The focus is on compact, energy-efficient systems that specifically combine performance, cost-effectiveness and sustainability. The UV and LED systems have been specifically tailored to the requirements of the label industry: low-migration solutions, significantly reduced energy and nitrogen consumption and the consistent expansion of LED UV technology form the basis. A central highlight of the new product range is the LEDcure NX with AI-supported SMARTcure technology, which enables maximum efficiency in operation thanks to intelligent control. The portfolio is complemented by the new FREEcure system, which is equipped with integrated UVC booster technology. This was developed specifically with the stricter requirements of the new printing ink regulation in mind - in particular for the reliable implementation of low-migration printing applications.
All UV lamp systems are LED-prepared as standard and can be easily converted to LEDcure NX. This creates investment security and flexibility for future production planning, with the focus throughout all development stages on integrating the latest UV technology into label printing in a practical and future-proof manner. “We see enormous potential in the label market,” says Arnd Riekenbrauck, Head of Sales Narrow Web. "Our aim was to develop cutting-edge technology that makes economic sense - for both small and large label printers. With our new product line, we are convinced that we offer exactly the right answers to the challenges of this dynamic market".
