Garry Smith, director of Starleaton says, “It’s a major move for our company. The Roland DG range is deep and wide – literally up to 2.6 metres, with around 28 hardware products to offer, plus inks and consumables.

“Roland DG’s build and reputation sits well with Starleaton’s philosophy and we already supply a lot of media to Roland DG users – it’s a great fit in with our hardware range and enables us to offer signage and display total customer-care packages including hardware, RIP, ICC profiling, inks and media.”

The acquisition of the Roland DG dealership adds considerable fire-power to Starleaton’s existing hardware offerings. It immediately opens up the roll-fed UV sector with both print-only and print and die-cut models for labels and decals.

Furthermore, sublimation printers such as the VersaArt and Hi-Fi Express are perfect partners for Starleaton’s Neschen textiles and soft signage range.

John Wall, sales director at Roland DG Australia says, “We are selective who we appoint as dealers and following meetings both here and at overseas events, we are comfortable that Starleaton will be a valued long-term channel partner for Roland DG products.

“We are delighted to add them to our family of dealers and look forward to working closely with their sales and support teams to address and further the Roland brand into new market segments.”
