Cylinder Production
From copper plating to engraving, from chrome plating to quality control — every stage in our own facilities. Professional cylinder production for flexible packaging, decorative, and special applications.
Precision Cylinder
Construction
Since 2001, we have been serving the rotogravure industry without interruption. Across our three facilities, we perform all production stages from copper plating to final inspection, offering our customers full control and fast delivery advantages. With our electromechanical and laser engraving technologies, we develop solutions for a wide range — from food packaging to decorative surfaces, cigarette filters to security applications.
4 Key
Differentiators
Integrated Production
Copper plating, engraving, chrome plating, and proofing — all in our own facilities. Minimum supply chain risk, controlled delivery times.
Future Quality Control Vision
We aim to establish an AI-supported autonomous structure in cylinder quality control. Computer vision systems capable of micron-level defect detection are in the R&D phase.
Multi-Technology Engraving
Application-specific technology selection without being locked to a single system: Electromechanical, extreme laser, direct laser, chemical reduction.
Re-Engravability
The same cylinder body can be reused dozens of times. Dechroming, recopering, and re-engraving services ensure long-term value from your investment.
Modern Technology
Flexible Capacity
Across our three facilities, numerous engraving lines, polishing stations, automatic copper/chrome plating systems, and quality control tracks operate 24/7.

Production Technologies
Methodology
Electromechanical Engraving
Hell & DW Cellaxy
Diamond-tipped engraving heads with classic cell structure. Deep engraving in thick copper layers (80-100 micron). Proven quality in food packaging and decorative applications.
- Mega depth capacity
- Sharp corners & micro text
- Wide substrate compatibility
- Easy spare parts support
Extreme Laser Engraving
High-Speed Laser
Direct laser ablation onto copper surface without chemicals. Eco-friendly process, fast production, superior fine detail performance.
- Zero chemical waste
- 30-40% faster production
- Precise register control
- Fine line superiority
Direct Laser Engraving
Next-Gen Eco-Friendly
Minimized copper plating thickness, direct engraving on thin layers. Material savings, energy efficiency, fast turnaround.
- Low copper consumption
- Short setup time
- Energy savings
- Sustainable production
Chemical Reduction
Classic Method for Specials
Acid-based chemical processing for engraving. Preferred for emboss and relief applications, organic forms and smooth transitions.
- Ideal for emboss
- Organic textures
- Smooth tone transitions
- Special effect capability
