Located near Verona, Italy, SCEA supplies high-performance flexible packaging to the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. The company is recognised for its experience in flexographic and rotogravure printing. Its profile brings together the speed and adaptability of a family-run business with the technical expertise and operating capacity required for more complex production demands.
“Our first BOBST investment quickly became our flagship machine, and we’ve built on that success over the years with successive installations,” says Mauro Pattaro, Managing Director of SCEA. “With this new investment our goal was to increase production capacity while maintaining the flexibility and responsiveness that have always set us apart. The BOBST MASTER RS 6003 offered exactly that, providing the perfect blend of reliability, automation, and performance. With this new press, we can handle a wider variety of jobs, optimise setup times and guarantee the same excellence across every production run. It truly represents an evolution in our printing capabilities.”
Master RS 6004: advanced automation with a user-friendly interface
The MASTER RS 6003 is a stand-out example of BOBST’s rotogravure press engineering. This machine combines advanced automation with a user-friendly interface and energy-efficient systems that minimise waste and downtime while securing exceptional consistency across runs. Its modular design enables users to quickly adapt to different job sizes, from large-scale industrial production to shorter, customised orders, and it can help customers reduce energy consumption by up to 20% compared with alternative machines. As a result, it is perfect for supporting SCEA’s mission of delivering high-quality packaging with a low environmental impact.
“The integration of the new MASTER RS 6003 into our production workflow has been remarkably smooth, thanks to both the familiarity of BOBST’s interface and the professionalism of our team,” explains Marina Pattaro, Quality Manager at SCEA. “From day one, our operators recognised the precision and technical reliability of the machine. It gives us exceptional control over every stage of the process, ensuring repeatability and traceability on every job.”
With the MASTER RS 6003 now fully operational, SCEA continues to pursue its ambition of improving the sustainability of its operations. The new press plays a crucial role in the company’s broader environmental roadmap, which prioritises investments that reduce its carbon footprint across every stage of production, from energy use and waste management to materials innovation.
Sustainable and highly efficient packaging production
SCEA’s relationship with BOBST began nearly a decade ago and has grown through multiple successful installations, with each project reinforcing the shared values that define both companies. The installation of the MASTER RS 6003 represents a powerful step forward in SCEA’s journey towards smarter, more sustainable, and highly efficient packaging production.
“After years of continuous transformation, we are ready to relaunch our challenge to the market,” adds Mauro Pattaro. “With BOBST technology by our side, we’re confident in our ability to compete both nationally and internationally with a modern, flexible, and forward-thinking operation.”
