HVG Graphics Media (HVG) is expanding into hardware sales, introducing MCT Digital finishing tables to the Australian market, starting with the company’s VersaTech2 finishing table.
The VersaTech2 table is a 3 in 1 solution, a laser-router-knife digital die-cutter.
HVG has been operating in graphics media sales and distribution, and says this move to hardware will enable it to meet market demand for a single supply model.
Richard Lucas, general manager, HVG says, “We are excited to announce our first move into supplying hardware to the Australian graphics market, by signing an exclusive agreement with MCT.”
“The MCT VersaTech2 has been awarded the SGIA Product of the Year Award for Digital Finishing, with its high strength, and lightweight gantry for cutting speeds and accuracy.
“This cutting solution complements our wide range of substrates and our ever-expanding printable fabric range.”
MCT produces wide format digital flatbed cutting systems, with a heritage that stems from Mikkelsen Graphic Engineering (MGE).
Steve Aranoff, vice president, Business Development, MCT says, “Our founders were responsible for the development of i-cut, the world’s first vision capability for cut to print graphics, in 1999. Today, VersaTech2 with its TigerVision software vision system provides the most innovative and intuitive solution for its customers.”
MCT have also developed cost-effective automation options, which give businesses the opportunity to minimise labour costs.”
Steen Mikkelsen, MCT Founder and chairman says, “We are pleased to announce the appointment of HVG Graphics Media as the Sales and Service/Support Dealer for MCT’s VersaTech2 product line in Australia. Thanks to our patent-pending dual conveyor belt technology, the VersaTech2 is the only automated all-in-one laser-router-knife digital die-cutter in the world.
“It is fitting, therefore, to have HVG Graphics Media as our partner is Australia, as they stock the widest array of printable materials and already have strong relationships with the vast majority of prospects across the continent.”
HVG Graphics Media distributes the following sheets: Dibond, Dilite, Forex Classic, Foamalite, Kapa, Gatorfoam, FomeCor, Re-board, Viewseries substrates; Decoprint and Viewfab textile ranges, which it says are compatible with the VersaTech2 cutting system.
