Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), part of Barry-Wehmiller, has been named a finalist for the Award for Innovation, one of the key categories of the Label Industry Global Awards 2018. Shortlisted as one of four finalists, PCMC received the nomination for its recently introduced Meridian laser anilox cleaner. Meridian laser cleaning technology provides printers and converters with a solution for a sustainable, one-pass cleaning system. Anilox rolls are restored to like-new surface conditions at unprecedented speeds, often increasing efficiency by 300 percent or more.
