Pozitive Sign & Graphic Supplies has signed a distribution agreement with automated gluing machine manufacturer Felix Gluer.

Pozitive owner and managing director, Phil Trumble told Sprinter he is very excited to confirm the partnership with Felix Gluer – based at Warsaw in Poland.

Trumble is targeting this machine at short to medium run packaging companies that specialise in point of sale displays as well as casemaking, speciality packaging or boxmaking.

“If you do any kind of hand-gluing, this is a machine that could really automate your production processes. It can apply both cold glue and hot glue simultaneously in any particular shape – whether it is lines or dots or spray,” Trumble said.

“When I met with Felix Gluer, I realised this is a product that many companies should have if they have to apply glue in some way – and a lot of people are still doing this manually,” he said.

Felix Gluer has launched the new twin-head Duet machine at drupa to complement its single-head machine, and Trumble has confirmed he has already received interest from the Australian market.

Felix Gluer head of international sales, Slawomir Marć said the company now has 200 installations globally through partners in USA, Canada and Europe since commercialising its products in 2017.

“For Pozitive, this is the missing part of the portfolio. When it comes to packaging on demand you need to print something on carton or corrugated – and then you need to cut it and then you need to glue the box or POS display,” Marć said.
