HP has opened a new facility to produce Scitex inks for its flagship UV rigid printer, the FB10000 industrial press.

The Israeli facility has been built next to HP’s Indigo ink manufacturing site and incorporates a new laboratory for HDR240 Scitex ink development and quality assurance. Both sites are ISO14001-certified.

The new 3,000sqm site replaces another Scitex manufacturing plant in Israel. HP’s only other Scitex ink plant is in Puerto Rico.

HP Scitex general manager Boaz Perets said: “To win business with big brands, HP Scitex customers require reliable products and inks that offer consistent results at top quality.

“The new HP Scitex ink plant allows us to address these needs and meet the growing demand for HP Scitex UV-curable inks while protecting the environment.”

Perets added that all staff from HP’s old Scitex site had transferred to the new plant while the company had also recruited more staff to support the growth of the business.
