Based in Beirut, Lebanon, XOL Automation is the leading engineering company serving the converting and web handling industry in the MENA region. January 01, 2012 http://www.martinauto.com/news.php?id=62 There have been many case studies over the years that clearly substantiate the value of automatic roll change in narrow- and mid-web printing operations. Increased production and substrate waste reductions can be tracked to calculate an ROI analysis that can justify adding roll-change automation to printing presses. However, process improvements such as automation impact many other facets of your operation that are not readily measured or ordinarily considered as part of an ROI analysis. Collectively these secondary benefits represent a significant overall operational improvement. November 30, 2011 http://www.martinauto.com/news.php?id=60 From a staff of only four people in 2000, Flexoznak, the Moscow based printing and converting company, has expanded to become one of Russia's leading suppliers of flexo printed cards for the country's fast-growing telecommunications industry. In ten years, staff numbers have increased beyond 200, and the company, which is the only one in Russia to utilise the narrow and mid-web inline flexo process, now converts more than 350 tonnes of carton board and 150 tonnes of paper per month. It is jointly owned by Viktor Ten and Valery Ponomarev.

July 11, 2011 http://www.martinauto.com/news.php?id=57 On Wednesday, April 6th, Martin Automatic invited 27, 11th and 12th grade students from nearby Winnebago High School's pre-engineering and manufacturing technology classes to come tour their facilities. Seven of these students are part of the school's competitive robotics team and have had a lot of academic engineering exposure but this tour offered them the opportunity to see industrial applications. "It is great for these kids to be able to see how their engineering interests get put into real life applications" reports John Siebel, Production Manager for Martin Automatic. "I have been taking engineering classes since I was in 6th grade and this is the first manufacturing facility that I have toured, so it is cool to see how big the machinery is that is being built inside this building" reported one senior student.
