Drukkerij Wihabo has expanded its digital production line with the installation of Highcon Euclid III digital cutting and creasing machine in the Netherlands.
The digital cutting and creasing machine has been installed at the company's 2650m² facility in Geffen, which also houses HP Indigo 10000 digital press and a Kama ProFold 74 folder-gluer.
Suitable for high value applications and markets, the machine can replace complex, expensive and slow die-making and setup process with an in-house controlled digital system.
It can be used in different applications ranging from packaging and commercial print applications to customization with variable data cutting, web-to-pack and even 3D modeling.
The Highcon Euclid III was developed to be used by converters, printers, trade finishers and D service bureaus.
Drukkerij Wihabo CEO Joris Bosch said: “On-demand service is what we are all about. Our motto is never to say no to a customer. We have over 2,000 customers, both small and large, who have come to depend on our responsiveness and creativity.”
Highcon global sales vice president Jens-Henrik Osmundsen said: “Wihabo is a natural match for Highcon. They immediately understood that the key benefits of the technology correspond precisely to their own values: differentiation, flexibility and customer focus.”
Founded in 1986, Drukkerij Wihabo is a commercial printer that provides product solutions, including birth cards and hand-made paper.
Based in Yavne of Israel, Highcon produces Highcon Euclid machines, which were installed by customers in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
