The new coating machine for thermal paper will be installed in the Leitza plant
(Spain), thereby replacing the old P1 coater. This is part of Lecta’s Strategic Plan
aimed at diversifying business and reinforcing its specialty papers and reducing the
production capacity of coated woodfree paper.
More than 20 Million Euro will be invested in new thermal facilities which include a
Voith coating machine and follows on from the complete modernization of the coating
preparation kitchen.
The investment is designed to improve industrial efficiency, broaden the product
range and boost self-consumption as a result of growing demand for thermal selfadhesive
papers in e-commerce and other labeling applications. These new thermal
facilities will meet the demand of a growing market within exacting quality standards
to meet the most rigorous environmental requirements.
As with other recent investments undertaken by Lecta to increase the production
capacity of specialty papers, the new coating line represents a higher level of base
paper integration and, consequently, the switch from coated woodfree paper
production capacity to specialty base paper.
Lecta is a leading European manufacturer and distributor of specialty paper for labels
and flexible packaging, coated and non-coated paper for publishing and commercial
printing, and other high value-added print media.
All of Lecta’s manufacturing sites are certified to the strictest environmental
standards – ISO 14001 and EMAS – and hold PEFC™ and FSC® chain of custody
certificates. Furthermore, all Lecta sites have successfully completed audits for ISO
50001 energy efficiency, ISO 9001 quality and OHSAS 18001 occupational health
and safety certification. Copyright 2024 Walden-Mott Corporation All rights Reserved.
