About Schuite & Schuite Druckfarben
Schuite & Schuite Druckfarben GmbH is a manufacturer of web offset inks based in Amt Wachsenburg, in the district of Ichtershausen (Thuringia). The product portfolio includes heatset inks (including UNI 500 and MG 1500) as well as coldset newspaper inks (CS10 and CS30), which run on all common web offset presses. According to its own statements, the company is the only ink manufacturer that does not produce conventionally using dissolvers, three-roll mills or agitator bead mills, but with specially designed extruders. This extruder technology enables batches of 18–24 tonnes per batch and 30–40% higher throughput rates than conventional processes; the higher energy input leads to more effective dispersion and a more uniform particle size distribution. The coldset inks CS10 and CS30 meet the colour tone limits according to ISO 2846-2 and ISO 12647-3. An in-house laboratory team continues to develop the products, and the company's own truck fleet with its own drivers delivers to customers throughout Europe. Customers are printing companies, especially in newspaper and web offset printing in Europe.
