HP announces the opening of a 32,000 sq ft HP Scitex ink manufacturing plant at Kiryat Gat (Israel) that will produce HP Scitex UV inks for the new HP Scitex FB10000 printer. This expanded manufacturing capacity demonstrates HP’s commitment to helping print service providers and corrugated converters move from analog to digital printing processes. The plant implements advanced manufacturing processes with automated production, providing strict quality control for batch-to-batch color consistency and high-quality colour matching. A new lab, designed to support manufacturing development and quality assurance, provides an innovative work environment for HP Scitex developers.
The facility achieves top performance in sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. Located next to the existing HP Indigo ink manufacturing facility, both ink plants are the first in HP, as well as in Israel, built according to the strict environmental Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, a recognized global standard for green building. Both facilities are also ISO 14001 certified, demonstrating HP’s commitment to measuring and helping to improve environmental impact.
