MINNEAPOLIS, MN—In October 2015, Flexo Tech opened as a Minnesota not for profit corporation with the mission to teach flexographic press operations through hands on training. Since opening, seven graduates from its 12 week training program have been certified and are now fulltime press operators, running equipment ranging from a Webtron 750s to Mark Andy P-Series.

Flexo Tech started its third 12 week press operator training program on June 6, to train another four operators to have careers as pressmen in the flexographic industry. Outside of these seven graduates, Flexo Tech has educated an additional 20+ people on the basics of flexography during a pair of three day Flexo 101 classes.
