What we do
AkeBoose is a development-driven engineering company. We specialize in machine components and systems that apply liquid to a substrate. Our focus is traditionally on the flexographic and rotogravure printing and packaging industry, for which we develop and build application and supply systems for printing inks and coatings.
The AkeBoose product range covers
- chamber doctor blade systems
- ink supply and handling systems
- inline flexo marking and printing units
- suitable spare parts and consumables
- as well as the servicing of printing equipment.
In recent years, we have also increasingly developed special solutions for processing or applying liquid media such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium hydroxide or graphite compound, for example.
Our experience
Since the company was founded by visionary Mr. Åke Bööse in the 1970s, we have integrated process technology solutions across a wide range of printing applications. This broad, multidisciplinary know-how of printing processes for flexible packaging, labels, corrugated, tissue, decor, laminations and coatings enable us to develop highly functional product solutions that make daily operations and processes in the pressroom easier and more efficient.
What we are aiming for
Our goal is to provide reliable, easy-to-use and sustainable printing solutions that support efficient production processes in flexographic and gravure printing.
We continuously refine our products in close cooperation with our customers and partners. This enables us to respond flexibly to changing industry requirements and to maintain a high level of product quality and technical support.
