Printing Factory

Overview

Established in 1916 with approximately 5,000 dedicated employees, Multi-Color Corporation (MCC) operates 47 state-of-the-art industrial printing and manufacturing facilities worldwide.

Formerly known as Collotype Labels, MCC invited Kellwood to update their Glasgow facility with an energy efficient lighting system.

Challenges

MCC operate in an industry where even the slightest label imperfection can have catastrophic consequences for a global supply chain. Their lighting requirements exceed most other sectors accordingly. The headline design requirement was to be a ≥1000Lux target, project area light level and excellent uniformity while using existing electrical infrastructure.

Solution

Kellwood believe the efforts made to balance the client’s budget with available product capabilities proved to be a key in winning MCC’s work. The flexibility of an intelligent lighting system was abandoned in favour of high output. The results remain impressive to this day.
