About us

Our history

AV Flexologic B.V. was set up in 1968-1969, officially registered as Anderson and Vreeland N.V. Holland on February 1st, 1969. The company was owned by Anderson and Vreeland Inc. In 1982, the companies separated and continued independently from each other. Since 2009, AV Flexologic is owned by the Otten family, with Piet Otten as head of the family business. Piet has over 25 years of experience in the flexographic industry, and is well known and trusted around the world.

With over 40 years of experience in the flexographic industry, AV Flexologic has always been on the edge of innovation, making it a global leader in high-end, high-precision, and high-quality flexo plate mounting equipment, plate making and supporting equipment. Through its history and thanks to its people and customers, AV Flexologic has become a leading manufacturer of high precision mounting equipment for the flexographic industry. The company is headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands.

Thanks to this approach we received worldwide recognition through the years:

• AV Flexologic invented camera mounting, which now has been introduced by all our competitors.

• 2007: AV Flexologic won the Technical Innovation Award of North America’s FTA, also for the Fully Automatic Mounting Machine (FAMM).

Today, we have several patents for automatic mounting distortion compensation and overlay system.

Our mission towards a sustainable world

AV Flexologic is dedicated and committed to work in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. To preserve nature and to be conscious about the efficient use of materials are guidelines to our creations and new developments.

One result of this continuous thinking is the Cosmoline: a plate washing machine combined with Toyobo’s Cosmolight Water Washable Flexoplates, which are the first water wash flexo plates in the world. With these equipment, our customers can wash their flexo plates without using the usual chemical solvents which are harmful to health and environment. Cosmoline and Cosmolight Water Washable Flexoplates ensure healthy and environmentally friendly work conditions while at the same time being more cost effective and fast.
