Denmark: Nilpeter will be celebrating its 100 years of existence in style. On 1 May 2019, its anniversary day, the company will mark the day for a year-long celebration with employees, customers, partners, and suppliers at its headquarters in Slagelse, Denmark.
Founded by two old friends in 1919, Nilpeter started out servicing newspaper printing machines in central Copenhagen, before launch- ing its first semi-rotary printing press, The Simplex, in 1924, which in various versions remained part of the company’s product range until the 1970s.
With the introduction of the self- adhesive substrate, Nilpeter targeted its business towards the label market. To this day, Nilpeter remains a family-owned and managed, with Lars Eriksen and Peter Eriksen, father and son, and the 3rd and 4th generation of owners, leading the company towards new historical milestones.
Lars Eriksen, president and CEO at Nilpeter, said, “The Nilpeter brand is positioned stronger than ever due to years of important partnerships and product innovations. We value partnerships – with customers, suppliers, and industry partners alike. We strive to share our experience and work closely with leading technology providers, in order to generate value with and for our customers. Inspired by the latest technological trends, our skilled, intelligent workforce is constantly developing and implementing new solutions, allowing us to remain a driving, innovative force in the printing industry. While we benefit from 100 years of experience, we are not rooted in what has worked in the past, but focused on what will work in the future.”
Today, Nilpeter manufactures printing presses for labels and flexible packaging on three continents: Europe, North America, and Asia, and a number of subsidiaries, which supports the company’s global strategy.
Nilpeter also has five modern technology centres located in Denmark, USA, Thailand, India, and Brasil, which have the latest Nilpeter products on display and provide the perfect scene for engaging with printers. Moreover, co-suppliers and industry partners utilise the facilities to test new technology trends in a local setting.
