The company specialises in project management, retail design, manufacture, print and installation, and had been on the lookout for a machine that would enable it to bring production in-house.

Installed in February of this year, the machine has allowed the firm to do just that, with both the cutting and finishing processes for its print and plastics division now taking place under its own roof—which in turn has allowed the company to further expand its service offering.

Managing director Andy Winstanley comments: “The Versa Tech has added another string to our bow, as well as helping us offer a quicker turnaround when working with materials such as card, acrylic, MDF, vinyl, foamex and Dibond.

“Having the cutter in house allows us to guarantee the quality of finishing that our customers expect, within the timescales they demand.”

He adds: “Having easy access to servicing and support direct from a British manufacturer is fantastic, and our experience with the Versa Tech so far has been great.

“The quality of installation was excellent and we even ran real jobs during training, including the successful production of inlaid and curved laminates, used for a major tourist attraction on behalf of Merlin Entertainments.

"The machine proved itself straight away and it was worth making the investment in a bigger machine.”
