1958Turkey's first flexo
Each printing unit prints one colour. We build 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8-colour machines; our 2 and 3-colour machines are among the most widely used models in the field.
In 1941, aged thirteen, Mehmet Bilgili became an apprentice in a workshop in Karaköy. He made his way to master craftsman building ship propellers, shafts and water pumps.
In 1958 a "Bilgili Makina" sign went up over the door of a 30-square-metre shop in Ayvansaray. In 1974 the owner of the neighbouring plastics factory pointed to an unfinished bag printing machine and asked: "Can you finish this machine?"
I can.
That machine was delivered, and new ones followed. Today the third generation does the same work: printing machines.
Full historyEvery print starts with four inks.
Four inks. Four separate plates.
If one slips by a tenth of a millimetre, the print blurs.
The real job of a printing machine is to hold four colours on the same point across kilometres of web.
Dr. Blade, ceramic anilox, full servo. 350 metres per minute.
From OPP to kraft paper, from woven sacks to sulphite. Every machine is built to order in our own workshop and never delivered without being tested.
Number of colours, width and winding configuration are set to your needs.
