Tectonic’s exhibition at Labelexpo, Brussels has chartered new levels of success with increased visitor attendance, confirmed sales and more sales leads than ever before. With their Labelexpo largest stand to date, Tectonic showcased their new PANTHER Digital Print Inspection System, along with our Flexico V5 Plate Mounting Machines—the hands-free design that set the yard-stick for mounting plates.

Visitors to the stand found the PANTHER to be very impressive with its advanced features and user-friendly responsiveness using our unique tactile touch screen control. Many commented on its accuracy and notable ease of use. The Flexico V5 Plate Mounting Machine, the choice of printers and press manufacturers around the globe, once again proved ever-popular with new and existing customers for its versatility and compatibility to working with one or several machines from different manufacturers. A very cost-saving and space-saving solution when one plate mounter can service each of your presses with speed and accuracy which speeds up factory throughput.

The team were pleased to welcome so many of our valued customers onto our stand for demonstrations of our new PANTHER Print Inspection System, many of which are upgrading their current Tectonic systems to our latest technology. “We have such a great relationship with Tectonic that has spanned over many years. As far as we are concerned, they are unrivalled when it comes to the service and ROI solutions they provide” – said one customer.

A leading press manufacturer quoted: “the show was a great platform to show off new technology which really stood out in the crowd. Tectonics’ PANTHER Print Inspection System with its advanced digital cameras and all-encompassing technology is a gem, outstanding, a leading light in print inspection and so different from analogue systems that did little more than display an image. Tectonics’ tactile touch screen control monitor is what our customers want from a press and an inspection system and is way ahead of the old hand-held keypads, fits well on our presses and is what our customers expect. The colour monitoring tool is so usable and what a boon to waste and cost saving for a busy press operator”

We were delighted to welcome Sturdy Print’s Operations Director, Phil Cummings, for a demo of the PANTHER. Sturdy Print have been very impressed with their Flexico V5 Plate Mounting Machine installed in their factory in 2012, and look forward to installing our Fully Motorised PANTHER Print Inspection System to further complement their printing processes.

In partnership with Finnish agent Oy Cecmik Trading Ab, Lito-Botnia-Oy Finland are the proud new owners of our Flexico V5 Plate Mounting Machine. “The customer reviewed all of the plate mounters on offer at Labelexpo, and it was clear to see that Tectonic’s Flexico V5 was the market leader. With its 100% perfect accuracy and small footprint, the V5 is a vital addition to Lito-Botnia-Oy’s printing process.” said representative Jan Oblom.

Tectonic Agent Bakwel, of Argentina, also sold a Flexico V5 Plate Mounting Machine to customer, and have reported many strong sales leads - we are both looking forward to strengthening presence throughout Argentina.

We were pleased to meet again with Jet Technologies, who represent Tectonic’s products in Australia and Malaysia. Jet recently installed Flexico V5 Plate Mounting Machines in all of their showrooms across Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland—a move that has seen Jet and Tectonic reap great results. It was great to meet the newest addition to the team Wesley Scott (pictured right with our Director Gavin Jones) and we look forward to continuing our partnership to improve plate mounting accuracy across Australasia.

Supported by our extensive agency network, Tectonic’s stand truly offered a global service to all of its visitors, able to ensure that a representative was available to support our customers effectively and in a language they understand. All of Tectonic’s agents gathered strong leads and are working with customers new and old to improve print inspection & plate mounting around the globe.

Tectonic also look forward to strengthening our presence in other countries with new agents—Announcements coming soon! Tectonic International were proud to have our PANTHER Digital and FLEXICO V5 machines installed on leading press manufactures around the Labelexpo exhibition: From their UK showroom, Edale offered the FLEXICO V5 Plate Mounting Machine specifically to suit their presses on Stand 7D43 KPG demonstrated our FLEXICO V5 Plate Mounting Machine to complement their new press on Stand 4D24, to much success. HOLTBY WILLIAMS complemented their Arpeco Slitter/Rewinder with our PANTHER Digital Print Inspection System & sent many of their visitors to our stand for further information on its performance and to try it out themselves.
