The Belgian Agfa-Gevaert Group will open a new inkjet showroom in the United Kingdom. The opening of the site to English and European visitors is planned for March.
This new space of 325 m 2 The new facility, located in Rugby, 55 kilometres from Birmingham, will house the latest large-format inkjet printers and presses, an Anapurna H3200i led and a Jeti Tauro H2500 led, as well as a demonstration and training area for Agfa's Asanti and Apogee software suite. Radiology solutions, another specialty of the group, will also be presented.
"We are delighted to announce such a significant investment at this time, said Bobby Grauf, Inkjet Sales Manager for the UK and Ireland . Like many of our clients, we have used the past year to evaluate how we operate in a constantly changing marketplace. Inkjet is one of Agfa's key growth drivers and being able to get closer to our customers is essential to achieve our goals.
This brand new showroom will replace that of the English factory in Leed, whose closure was announced last June. The main demonstration center for Agfa's inkjet business is located in Belgium, at the group's headquarters in Mortsel, on the outskirts of Antwerp. Another showroom is located in Mississauga, Canada, where all Jeti presses (Mira, Ceres and Tauro) are manufactured.
"With our head office in Belgium and our factory in Canada, this new showroom in the UK will be a valuable tool for presenting a wider variety of inkjet solutions to a wider audience."
