Control Instruments Corporation has become a member of the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA). The primary goal of the FTA and its Foundation is to provide a platform for flexographers to network, learn and exchange ideas – all in the name of advancing the art and science of the flexographic print process. Together we look forward to helping provide a wealth of products, services and shared cutting-edge knowledge to the flexo industry.

Hemingway once wrote that a man goes broke “slowly, then all at once.” There may be months of lead-up to an accident. Maybe there’s a weakness baked in right from the start that only crops up after years of operation or an unusual cascade of errors. Maybe there is some seemingly insignificant change whose dangerous consequences were never considered when the design was made so long ago.
