NGL Web Offset Press with Printing Sleeves

Fully automated and equipped with a sleeve-type printing tool system, the NGL is perfectly suited for premium packaging applications that require high-speed performance, outstanding print quality, and the flexibility to produce different designs and formats.
The NGL also incorporates Komori's latest technology, including the advanced KHS-AI self-learning system, which optimizes operation with low level of waste and minimal operator intervention.

Highlighting strong market demand for this next-generation web offset technology, a second NGL press is already in production - and this is only the beginning.

Expanding Capabilities, Extending Reach

Alongside its technological advancements, Komori-Chambon has taken a major step forward by expanding its global footprint and deepening its industrial expertise.

This strategic growth is driven by the integration of Komori Primoflex Systems (formerly known as CPS, Canadian Primoflex Systems Inc.) and the acquisition of rotary die tools business rights from Bernal LLC into the newly formed Komori-Chambon group.

Together, they bring complementary expertise in web-fed printing, rotary die-cutting, and converting technologies, offering a comprehensive and synergistic range of solutions.
With operations in France, the USA, and Canada, the Komori-Chambon group now employs over 180 professionals, reinforcing its position as a trusted global partner in premium packaging.

Through long-standing relationships with leading consumer goods brands and packaging converters, the group benefits from deep market insight and close alignment with industry trends.

This strong foundation is already translating into results: 2025 is on track to be a record year in terms of orders, reflecting positive market feedback and a warm reception of the group's integrated portfolio.
As the three companies continue to innovate and expand their capabilities, Komori-Chambon group is well-positioned to exceed this achievement in the years to come.
