Janet / Monday, 22 July 2024 / Categories: Latest News, Wide Format & Signage News, Hardware Currie Group Announce New Partnership with Neolt Factory Currie Group has announced a new partnership with Italian finishing manufacturer Neolt Factory for the supply of a range of loading, unloading and finishing systems for the Canon Colorado M-Series printer range. Currie Group will be the exclusive agent in the ANZ region for the Neolt Wallpaper Factory solutions. These include ‘jumbo roll in – jumbo roll out’ systems which increase the capacity for long run lengths of products like wallpaper without need for operator intervention, and jumbo roll-to-cut solutions which allow rolls to be converted automatically straight off the printer. Paul Whitehead, Currie Group Business Unit Manager – Sign & Display, says the Neolt Wallpaper Factory will deliver huge advantages, particularly for businesses doing large runs of wallpapers or similar products, or multiple smaller runs of wallpapers or trimmings that require post-production finishing. “The benefits of automation are well-established,” Paul points out. “Higher productivity is an obvious advantage, but importantly this can be achieved more profitably and while maximising the value of your staff resources, by removing touchpoints in the production process and making the entire, end-to-end process simpler and more streamlined. “The Neolt systems will allow Canon Colorado M-series users to lift their productivity with no additional labour requirement, by fully utilising the automated features of the printers and enabling longer, unattended production runs as well as in-line converting. “This is a particular advantage for businesses in markets like Australia and New Zealand where qualified staff are in short supply, and wages running at a premium,” he says. Under the new agreement, Currie Group is the exclusive agent for the Neolt Wallpaper Factory product suite across New Zealand and in Australia, where the company also supplies the Canon Colorado and Canon Arizona printer ranges.
