Viokyt Packaging Achieves Growth

During a period of great economic challenge, the privately-owned Viokyt has exercised a careful balancing act between tight fiscal management and investment in major capital equipment to ensure maintaining its position as a leader in the corrugated market. In the past five years the company expanded into high-quality flexo post-print, added new coating units on its corrugator as well as recently installing the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press and a digital cutter.

"Even though the economy was presenting real problems, our customers still needed packaging to deliver their goods, and we needed to deliver the packaging they required," said Theodore Daskalopolous, managing director, Viokyt Packaging SA. "The company president, Jossif Matarasso, attended an open day at HP in Sant Cugat and saw a demonstration of the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press and thought it would be the press to address our short-run requirements."

Within a few months, an order was placed, and working through HP reseller Graphcom, in Athens, the press was installed and was being used for packaging, POP/POS and large special displays for retail outlets. With the ability to produce up to 500m2/ hr (5380 ft2/hr) or 95 full-size sheets/hr(1) with ? automation, the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press can print on flexible and rigid sheets from 130g/m2 to 25mm thick.

Among its broad client base, Viokyt carries out packaging work for the Greek agricultural sector as well as for large retail enterprises and supermarkets.

"For exporting companies, like the wine and olive oil producers, the variable data capabilities of the FB7600 press enables cost-effective printing of languages as well as giving us the ability to print barcodes and tracking information," continued Daskalopolous. "This is work that would have been impossible to do otherwise.

"The FB7600 press was our first digital press and we are pleased with its ability to handle the growing short-run jobs which are otherwise prohibitively expensive."

Violyt's HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press is equipped with the optional Multi-sheet loader Kit that enables the production of four-sheets from 700 x 1000mm up to 775 x 1650mm(2) simultaneously.

"As well as watching costs, we are also watching our impact on the environment," said Daskalopolous. "Both for us and for our customers we made environmental features part of our equipment selection criteria as well as productivity."

HP FB225Scitex Inks used by the HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press are GREENGUARD Children & Schools CertifiedSM, colour inks meet AgBB criteria(3) and have reduced odour(4) that enable indoor applications. This enables products printed with the press to be used in area where solvent or UV-curable ink-printed materials could not be.

"We now have the digital capacity to handle the wide range of short-run jobs effectively and efficiently for our customers," concluded Dskalopolous. "The HP Scitex FB7600 Industrial Press gives us the quality and production flexibility to meet today's markets."

Following the widespread growth of smartphones and other portable connected devices in recent years, there has been a huge growth of mobile data consumption. One of the key issues for MNO's has been to address this increasing data traffic demand with sufficient capacity at Hands free access. Due to limited spectrum availability and increasing rates of data consumption, the user experience is often somewhat sacrificed.

One of the solutions to the rising wireless broadband capacity crunch is through deploying heterogeneous networks (Hetnets) comprising of macro cells and a range of small cell solutions namely microcells, picocells, carrier Wi-Fi and femtocells.

Small cells are being widely deployed by mobile operators the world over. 2G/3G small cells have already been used widely by operators for quite some time now, for the purposes of boosting network capacity in urban areas, provide wider coverage in rural areas, and furthermore to extend services into large public areas such as train stations, airports and shopping malls. More recently, with the widespread rollout of 4G LTE technologies there has been a renewed vigour in the deployment of 4G small cells in the form of public space femto cells and mini eNode base stations, in order to keep up with the increasing capacity and backhaul requirements for ubiquitous access to mobile broadband at 4G speeds.

Visiongain predicts growth in the small cells market, particularly in the 4G small cell types. The market is poised for vendors and solution providers as there is a huge uptake both from the consumer market, enterprise sector and the mobile operators, driven by limited spectrum and capacity constraints. The overall small cells market is growing and will continue to do so over the forecast period 2013-2018. As a consequence, visiongain has determined that the value of the global small cells market in 2013 will reach.

"Es ist eine so extreme Situation zur Zeit, dass ich das Gefühl habe, dass ich nicht atmen kann", erkl?rte Sylvie van der Vaart in dem gefühlvollen Interview. Mehrmals muss Sylvie tief einatmen, wahrscheinlich um nicht immer wieder in Tr?nen auszubrechen. "Es wird immer schwieriger, Leuten zu vertrauen", sagte sie und gab zu, dass sie in der Vergangenheit wohl den falschen Leuten ihr Vertrauen geschenkt hat.

"Für mich ist es wichtig, dass Damian sich an die neue Lebenssituation gew?hnt, dass er glücklich ist. In seinem Interesse will ich, dass wieder Ruhe einkehrt", erz?hlte Sylvie. Sie und Rafael van der Vaart (30) werden sich das Sorgerecht für ihren Sohn in Zukunft teilen. So bleibt es sicherlich nicht aus, dass sie und Sabia Boulahrouz hin und wieder aufeinandertreffen werden.

Im Interview f?llt auf, dass Frauke Ludowig weder den Namen von Sabia Boulahrouz, noch den des Ex-Freundes Guillaume Zarka (33) nennt – wahrscheinlich konnte Sylvie van der Vaart ihre eigene Situation so objektiver betrachten. "Manchmal sitze ich zu Hause und weine", gestand sie. Die momentane Zeit ist offensichtlich nicht leicht für die Moderatorin. "Mein Bruder und meine Eltern sind für mich da – am Ende ist es die Familie, die z?hlt." Aber ihren Sohn wolle sie damit nicht belasten, erkl?rte Sylvie van der Vaart.
