Ego has reported 30 per cent growth year on year for the past five years. Positioned in the market as a specialist in UV coating, embellishment, die cutting, finishing and gluing, Ego has carved a niche that has protected it from market variations.

Originally Tomlin wanted to install a second Speedmaster CD102 press to complement the company’s CD102 six colour press with double coater.

He says, “We bought this press new three years ago and have been extremely pleased with its performance so we were happy to go down that path again. But after analysing our production data it became obvious that a perfector press was the best choice in terms of broadening our offer and meeting our growth potential.”

Tomlin adds that the new press will free up the CD102 and enable the company to target new work which will come from existing clients as well as new. He says, “We have no doubt that the perfector press will broaden our offer and enable us to gain more work from the clients we currently do specialist UV coatings for.”

Lindsay Barnes, general manager product management, Heidelberg ANZ, says Ego’s SM102-10-P comes with all the innovations that were released at Ipex 2010 and Drupa08 making it the highest specified SM 102 press to be commissioned in this region.
