“We always enjoy inviting customers to our office to experience the latest equipment and innovations firsthand,” Smartech Asia Pacific head of marketing and communications Ximena Guzman told Sprinter.
“Seeing the equipment in action helps them better understand its capabilities. We provided a comprehensive view rather than focusing on a single product, allowing visitors to explore various solutions that could enhance their workflow and productivity. Our goal is to introduce new products and efficient business solutions that align with their needs.”
Smartech plans to host showcases across in the country in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia, with dates to be confirmed.
Guzman also confirmed Smartech has several product launches planned for PacPrint in May.
“We will feature solutions for signage and display printing, office automation such as mailing, print finishing equipment, and parcel lockers. Smartech’s participation will be a highlight of the event, giving attendees an in-depth look at the latest innovations,” she said.
“Additionally, with our partnership with Rugby Australia, we’re planning some exciting surprises at the stand.”
Last Month Smartech was announced as the official naming rights partner of Super Rugby Pacific and Super Rugby Women’s competitions for 2025.
The partnership will see the Smartech logo displayed on the playing shorts of the four Australian clubs in Super Rugby Pacific and all five Super Rugby Women’s teams this season.
