Center to spur closer collaboration to drive sustainable innovation and solve customer challenges
DuPont has opened a new Cyrel Customer Technology Center (CTC) at the DuPont Experimental Station in Wilmington, Delaware, aimed at advancing flexographic printing technology. The facility facilitates collaboration between customers, partners, and experts for testing and innovation, alongside launching the sustainable Cyrel ReNew plate family.
“We are proud to officially open the Cyrel Customer Technology Center to serve as a collaborative space designed to allow customers, partners, and our own experts to come together to test, learn, innovate, and push what’s possible in flexographic printing,” said Tucker Norton, Vice President and General Manager for DuPont Printing & Films. “From plate technologies to workflows and services, our aim is to help our customers do more — with confidence, consistency, and responsibility.”
The opening of the CTC was commemorated with a welcome reception at Hagley and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting at the Experimental Station. Lori Koch, DuPont Chief Executive Officer, Beth Ferreira, President, Diversified Industrials, Nolan Dzielak, North American Commercial Leader and Serena Stephenson, Director of Innovation joined Tucker Norton along with industry partners and guests at the event.
As part of the CTC opening, DuPont Cyrel Flexographic Solutions officially launched its latest innovative solution, DuPont Cyrel ReNew. The new plate family reflects DuPont’s continued focus on sustainability, offering flexographic plates made with more than 50% of the raw materials attributed to ISCC certified renewable sources, without compromising product performance.
The first product of the new family of plates is the Cyrel ReNew LSH. The plate brings the LED exposure technology from Cyrel Lightning, while reducing the product’s carbon footprint through the application of the mass balance methodology. As a plug-and-play solution, Cyrel ReNew LSH delivers the same high-quality print performance as conventional Cyrel Lightning LSH plates.
