Trade finishing specialist, AllKotes, recently travelled to Las Vegas for Printing United to see some of the latest industry solutions and trends and while there made some new investments in the gluing space.
AllKotes’ general manager Darren Delaney and operations manager Pino Di Blasi spoke to Sprinter from the show.
“At AllKotes we are looking to bring innovation and value add to our customers and our existing range,” Delaney said.
“It’s been a while since we have been able to connect with our friends and partners overseas, so we saw the opportunity to do so. Boosting our gluing equipment in this specialty area is an important step for AllKotes and our customers.
“It’s important to have the right equipment and confidence to deliver. You always look for something new when you are walking around the show, and you never know what you will find. Of course, you have to keep your eyes open.”
From its Sydney site, AllKotes offers a comprehensive range of quality print finishing services, excelling in special effects.
“AllKotes made the decision to commit to its gluing section with the purchase of equipment at Printing United. Providing solutions in the gusset and capacity area with the right tools is critical. We believe that this addition will help our customers in offering more services and solutions under the one roof,” Delaney said.
As live trade shows have returned to replace online ones, Printing United has seen a more than healthy number of exhibitors and visitors.
“With nearly 700 exhibitors, there is plenty to see at this show. We are impressed with the equipment and solutions we have seen. We thought we would have covered everything in two days, but there are still stands that we want to visit and its day three of three and we are still going.”
When Delaney and Diblasi weren’t looking at equipment in the show, they were having some fun cornbagging in the foyer. Check out Sprinter’s video:
