About AkeBoose
AkeBoose GmbH is a development-driven engineering company based in Celle that manufactures machine components and systems for applying liquid media to substrates. Its traditional focus is on the flexo and gravure printing industry as well as the packaging industry: the portfolio includes chamber systems (chamber doctor blade systems), ink supply and ink handling systems, inline flexo marking and printing units, spare parts and service for printing systems. In addition, the company develops and builds special machinery for cleaning systems, inline coating in sheet-fed offset and functional printing, such as application systems for graphite compound for printed electronics. Chamber bodies are made of stainless steel, aluminium or carbon fiber, with chamber widths up to 6000 mm, and are designed for print widths from labels to wide web as well as corrugated board, tissue and decorative printing. Since 2018 the company has been relocated from Sweden to Germany and operates in Celle together with AGSflexo under the umbrella of the Agergaard Group.
