From manual to automated: CODEX improves waste handling with a Lundberg Tech solution
In Hungary, an increasing number of companies are recognizing the benefits of implementing efficient waste handling solutions.
CODEX Zrt., a Hungarian pioneer in printing, began with security printing in the late 1980s and later also expanded into labeling solutions. Recognized for its multi-page, fold-out labels, CODEX supplies industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals, where products require extensive information. Sustainability also plays a key role in the company strategy. With five specialised production lines and numerous awards, including the FTA FORUM AND INFOFLES 2024 in the label category, CODEX continues to innovate.
To align with their broader business goals, CODEX was looking to make their waste handling processes more efficient and environmentally friendly. After careful consideration they chose Lundberg Tech as their partner. In September 2024, a MatrixCompactor 200 All-in-one Unit was installed at their facility.
József Tóth, Production Manager, shares his experience with the Lundberg Tech waste handling solution:
“At CODEX we produce innovative, high-quality printing products under strict controls, meeting customer expectations and driving their success. Our focus on continuous innovation is evident in measures to prevent forgery and in product development. Safety, quality, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability have been our core values for decades. The MatrixCompactor from Lundberg Tech helps us boost productivity while maintaining a clean and environmentally friendly workplace.”
The shift from manual to automated waste handling has been transformative for CODEX.
József Tóth adds,
“The waste handling solution also prepares our waste for recycling which aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals. We are therefore very satisfied with our investment.”
At CODEX, waste from two Flexo machines is granulated and collected using the MatrixCompactor 200. Further upgrades and developments are planned, and Lundberg Tech, together with our Hungarian partner Prosystem Print, is ready to assist with any future upgrades to the waste handling setup.
