  METON GRAVURE TECHNOLOGIES Ltd (“METON”) commercializes and promotes innovative techniques in aluminum rotogravure cylinder manufacturing. METON discoveries are the result of over a decade of R&D achieving significant breakthroughs in the field of aluminum base rotogravure cylinder production and cylinder design. Such discoveries have led to broad, potentially disruptive, and application-expanding opportunities in gravure printing which are attributed to a large extent in the inherent benefits (and lowered costs) associated with aluminum as a steel-base substitute, as well as the ability to reface existing steel-base cylinders with the same novel manufacturing techniques and equipment.
