The program on the anniversary day included a visit to the second largest cylinder manufacturer in China, which owns Daetwyler laser engraving machines. In addition, a doctor blade customer specialized in the production of food and pharmaceutical packaging was visited. The Anniversary celebration continued with a dinner at the famous "Paulaner" restaurant. Daetwyler SwissTec presented a Doctor Blade in the shape of a 6 (meaning luck) and Daetwyler China expressed the successful cooperation of the last 20 years with a sailboat made from crystal.

Via video message Ralph Daetwyler also presented his congratulations and wishes for at least another 20 years of successful partnership.

We congratulate Beijing HSJ on their anniversary and wish them all the best for the future.

A change in management is happening at Daetwyler-Hell Iberia in the fall of 2021. The new General Manager Javier Ortega Gàlvez visited and introduced himself at our headquarters in Bleienbach.

With the existing MDC Anilox Cleaner, we have succeeded in establishing a solvent-based deep cleaner for all chrome and ceramic anilox rolls in gravure and flexographic printing applications. The deep cleaning is important so that the full pick-up volume of all chrome and ceramic anilox rolls can be achieved.

In order to meet market requirements and customer needs, we have now developed a new cleaner called MDC Aqua Pure Cleaner. As the name suggests, the MDC Aqua Pure Cleaner is water-based and offers the customer a gentle and effective deep cleaning of all chrome and ceramic anilox rolls. A major advantage is that the new cleaner is non-hazardous: it can therefore be easily shipped around the world by truck, air, and sea freight. Furthermore, the new cleaner is safe on aluminum and removes all common ink and varnish contaminants. 

The MDC Aqua Pure Cleaner optimally complements the existing range and enables us to enter new target markets. The MDC Aqua Pure Cleaner was launched in June 2020 and has already achieved initial sales success.
