Rotometal Celebrates 10 Years of Excellence in Printing Sleeve Manufacturing
Rotometal, a leading European manufacturer of high-performance rotary equipment, proudly announces 10 years of successful experience in manufacturing innovative printing sleeves. Since its inception, Rotometal has consistently evolved to meet the ever-changing demands of the printing industry.
“We are incredibly proud of our 10-year journey in the printing sleeve market,” says Grzegorz Dołbniak, CEO of Rotometal. “We have consistently focused on providing our customers with the latest technologies and best-in-class service.”
A History of Innovation
Rotometal began its journey in 2006 as a toolmaking plant. In 2013, the company expanded its offerings to include lightweight aluminium sleeves, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional printing cylinders. Recognizing the growing need for lighter and more efficient solutions, Rotometal strategically partnered and later brought sleeve base production in-house in 2017, gaining complete control over the manufacturing process.
The company’s dedicated R&D team continuously strives for excellence, developing unique chemical formulations and offering extensive customization options to cater to even the most demanding customer requirements.
Commitment to Sustainability
At Rotometal, sustainable development is at the core of their operations. They leverage advanced UV curing technology to accelerate production while minimizing their environmental impact. Their eco-friendly sleeve options, such as the rotoSLEEVE ECO Antistatic, are crafted from natural and recycled materials.
Looking Ahead
“We are for print” – This is not just our motto; it’s the driving force behind everything we do,” says Dołbniak. “We are excited about the future of Rotometal as we continue to develop innovative new products and services that help our customers succeed.”
