The innovation-based concept is located at Fujifilm’s new European headquarters in Ratingen
Fujifilm Europe has officially announced the opening of the Fujifilm Print Experience Centre (PEC) which has been created to bring together technologies and products from the company’s Graphic Communications and Photo Imaging divisions.
The company has long been known for its photographic and print offerings which are a large part of the overall FUJIFILM Corporation offering. Throughout the year the company has announced a number of changes and announcements, including new presses available to the wide-format market.
The PEC is a 1,200sq ft design space located at Fujifilm Europe and Fujifilm Deutschland’s premises in Ratingen, Germany. The divisions moved to their new headquarters in May 2022, after a series of construction-related delays.
Yoshiki Kimura, president and managing director of FUJIFILM Europe GmbH, states: “It is with great excitement that I am kicking off the activities of the Print Experience Centre, a unique concept dedicated to the world of the printed image, which complements the experiential equipment of our European headquarters in Ratingen, which was inaugurated last year.”
Fujifilm says the PEC represents a real “call-to-action” for all visitors, which acts as a collaborative space where attendees can imagine and experience the present and future of the printing industry.
The space will offer training and demonstrations to customers and partners as well as offer visitors the opportunity to evaluate and experiment with varied media, gaining the chance to achieve the best printing results in the process.
At last month’s Discover the Difference event Fujifilm discussed the opening of its customer innovation centre in Luton, which is expected to open this month.
Kimura adds: "In these spaces, we can now offer our stakeholders the opportunity to touch the result of Fujifilm's technological vision, and we are confident that this will be a source of great inspiration to forge new partnerships and strengthen existing ones."
The Ratingen centre offers co-working and events space giving the company the ability to expand its intended use and ensure maximum comfort for visitors and users.
Printing systems at the PEC include the Jet Press 750S, Revoria Press PC1120, Revoria E1 Series, ApeosPro C Series, Imprinting systems, and Acuity Prime.
