Grafibox Sud and GMDE: a partnership strengthened over the years

With a 60-year history, Grafibox Sud has always stood out in the high-quality printing sector, with a strong specialization in pharmaceutical packaging. A constant focus on innovation has long been one of the company’s defining characteristics, as demonstrated by the adoption of the AMSKY Aurora 3 Series T 256 Thermal CTP system, installed three years ago.

Within the context of digital transformation, Grafibox Sud identified the urgent need to modernize its machinery fleet in order to increase productivity, improve service quality, and reduce risks related to the lack of spare parts or rapid technological obsolescence.
The objective was clear: to implement a solution capable of optimizing production processes, reducing operating costs, and improving environmental sustainability, while at the same time maintaining the high standards of precision required by the pharmaceutical sector.
In a market characterized by a wide availability of technological solutions, Grafibox Sud’s choice required careful evaluation.

The GMDE–AMSKY partnership responded precisely to Grafibox Sud’s needs with the installation of the AMSKY Aurora 3 Series T 256 Thermal CTP system.
This technology enables rapid customization of printing plates, optimizing time and costs while ensuring superior graphic quality on the plate—an essential requirement in the pharmaceutical sector.
GMDE also guaranteed a constant presence and prompt intervention when needed, confirming itself as a reliable partner even in the post-installation phase.

Three years after the investment, the benefits achieved are tangible and shared by both the company and the operators involved:

• Reduced operating costs: Automation and improved efficiency have led to a significant reduction in costs.
• Reduced machine downtime: Thanks to GMDE’s warehouse, equipped with a large inventory of spare parts, operational interruptions have been significantly reduced, ensuring continuity of operations.
• Remote technical support: The advanced technologies adopted enable remote assistance, ensuring rapid responses and minimizing downtime.
• Increased operational efficiency: Processes have become faster and more efficient, improving the entire production cycle and supporting operators’ work.

The project followed several phases, from needs assessment to team training and system installation, with continuous technical support from GMDE. This collaboration ensured not only seamless integration of the new technologies but also a smooth transition for all personnel.

The success of this project not only strengthens Grafibox Sud’s leadership position in the market but also paves the way for further innovation.
The company is currently evaluating new technological solutions, with a focus on the evolution of CTP systems, interconnection, and, looking ahead, sustainability and energy efficiency.

The adoption of GMDE’s CTP system by Grafibox Sud is a clear example of how technology can act as a powerful catalyst for growth and innovation in the printing industry. With a constant focus on efficiency and sustainability, Grafibox Sud confirms its role as a benchmark for the future of pharmaceutical packaging.
