PVP is a digital printing company located in Digoin in Saône-et-Loire with 70 employees. It has a turnover of approximately 12 million euros, mainly in the POP market for the retail sector.
Today, Frédéric Barbey, its director, intends to develop new offers.
"PVP has the particularity, or non-particularity, of not specializing in a single printing medium, explains the CEO. We print on cardboard as well as on expanded PVC, PVC film, Dibond, wood, aluminum, paper, Mesh... And we handle medium and large quantity prints, but also by the unit."
"Currently, we are doing more and more shop-in-shop, interior decoration, and theatricalization for large-scale distribution. There is a real demand. To expand our offering in this market, we needed to invest in new machines that meet safety standards for indoor applications."
Two new printing machines with Greenguard Gold inks
In January, the company installed two new Agfa machines, a Jeti Tauro H3300 led hybrid inkjet in 3/4 automatic version and a Jeti Ceres RTR3200 led roll-to-roll press.
Both machines, which print on a wide variety of substrates, use Anuvia 1250 inks, which are Greenguard Gold certified. This certification indicates that these inks meet the most stringent chemical emission standards. They are compatible with so-called sensitive environments such as schools and hospitals. And they also comply with the EN 71-3 safety standard for the toy industry.
"These machines are a perfect fit with CSR-oriented printing trends. And the mass retail industry is also becoming increasingly aware of these issues." Moreover, with its new machines, the printer has already produced wallpapers for a store.
"With this investment, we were also looking to increase our production capacity and have the same inks on both machines, flexible and rigid. And it is completely in line with our environmental approach that has been in place for many years."
And soon an offer of monumental advertising objects
To complete its offer, the printer will add, by June, to its machine park a large volume 3D printer Massivit. It can produce objects measuring 1.5 x 1.2 x 1.9 cm.
"With this machine, we will stand out from the competition by offering monumental advertising objects that will furnish and decorate the sales areas of large retailers and other stores."
