The La Plana Group has just signed an agreement for the purchase of the Kento Hybrid®, the first and only machine in the world capable of hybrid printing on corrugated cardboard, which is expected to be installed and brought into operation during the second quarter of this year at the group’s Packaging Onda plant.
