Press release submitted on behalf of Martin Automatic.

Martin Automatic, Rockford, Illinois, will showcase two of its industry-leading MBS automatic unwind splicers at Labelexpo Europe 2025, anchoring the start of a fully automated production line that stretches across four collaborating booths.  After a successful debut at Labelexpo Americas 2024, the high-performance line will be seen in Europe for the first time this September in Barcelona. 

Located on stand 4D37, Martin will highlight two configurations of its MBS butt splicer, both feeding webs non-stop into an ETI Cohesio laminator.  The first unwinder features the standard MBS layout, while the second features a 90-degree turn bar that shortens the inline footprint – an innovation especially valuable for space-constrained pressrooms.

Both MBS machines can handle rolls up to 660 mm (26”) in diameter and can run at speeds up to 250 m/min (820 ft/min) for the standard configuration and 152 m/min (500 ft/min) with the turn bar configuration, ensuring optimum performance on high-production lines.

In preparation for the show, the full automation line will be assembled and tested at LEMU Group’s facility in Ibarra, Spain, offering customers exclusive opportunity to preview Martin’s unwinders before the show.
