Canon appointed as new UK distributors for Kongsberg
Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems has announced a new UK distributor in Canon.
The format graphics company will now promote Kongsberg cutting solutions in conjunction with its Arizona flatbed and Colorado roll-to-roll wide format printers.
Speaking about the new partnership, David Preskett, VP EMEA and APAC, Kongsberg PCS, said: “Canon is known for its high-quality, ultra-productive print production systems, and this agreement is testament to Kongsberg’s ability to deliver market-leading cutting solutions that match those output capabilities.
“This agreement will increase our reach to print and converting businesses across the UK and Ireland and marks an important step in our established relationship with Canon.”
Duncan Smith, country director, production at Canon UK and Ireland, said: “Kongsberg cutting solutions are designed to match the speeds of our wide format printers, making them an ideal complement to our systems in demanding graphics and packaging production environments, handling diverse materials, including the most challenging rigid media.
“The partnership with Kongsberg PCS will ensure that Canon customers are equipped with premium cutting solutions that help them to deliver premium quality finished products and broaden the range of creative applications they can produce.”
As part of the agreement, a Kongsberg PCS X24 cutting table will be showcased at Canon UK’s Birmingham Customer Experience Centre.
In addition to installing the cutting systems, Kongsberg engineers will also offer customers on-going technical, application and maintenance support to help them achieve optimal performance.
