What Av Flexologic does

AV Flexologic B.V. is a Dutch manufacturer of automated flexographic plate mounting and prepress equipment, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands. The company is a privately held operating unit of the Color Control Group, owned by the Otten family. Its core products are mounting machines spanning the full automation spectrum — manual (TableTop), motorized (MOM series), automatic (SAMM series for narrow web, wide web, and corrugated), and fully automatic (FAMM series) — supported by the RoboCELL robotic prepress system that combines automated sleeve handling (RoboSLEEVE), tape application (RoboTAPE), and mounting into an operator-independent workflow. The technology stack centers on patented image-recognition algorithms, a patented backlight system, and an Ultra-HD monochrome camera achieving 0.5 micron measurement resolution, with the AI-enabled AVI (Advanced Visual Intelligence) module launched in 2025 extending this capability via neural-network visual inspection.

AV Flexologic generates revenue through three primary streams: capital equipment sales (SAMM, FAMM, MOM, RoboCELL, Flatmount, EXACT Laser systems), aftermarket services and consumables (printing plates, sleeves and bridges supplied via sister company Tech Sleeves, tapes, spare parts), and managed service programs under the AVF Care brand. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with regional offices in North America, Asia Pacific, and LATAM covering 100+ countries, plus OEM partnerships with Bobst (technology integration) and Comexi (distribution via the GO FURTHER Tour). The customer base is enterprise packaging printers serving flexible packaging, label, corrugated/postprint, preprint, and liquid packaging sub-verticals, with named customers including Bryce Corporation, Sealed Air, Geostick, Packaging Personified, Kivo, Taiwan Lamination, SDR Pack, Pacificolor, Rudico, and ZDUE, and a milestone installed base exceeding 1,500 SAMM units. Reported productivity outcomes include 5-micron mounting accuracy, under-30-second per-plate mounting speed, up to 10x faster than manual systems, 90% fewer mounting errors, and 50% lower press downtime.
