LasX Europe has been established in Hannover, Germany, and will support the EMEA region with sales and service facilities for the company’s range of laser cutting and finishing systems.

The Hannover office incorporates a showroom for demonstrations of equipment and also has a parts warehouse for fast response to service calls. Installations and servicing will be handled by engineers based in Hannover, aided by remote diagnostics on every machine.

In addition to the office in Hannover, a network of agents is currently being established throughout the EMEA region. This includes CMD Insight as its distributor in the UK.

‘As short run and personalized printing becomes ever more attractive to clients, digital finishing has been the missing link to make the whole workflow truly responsive,’ Stünkel said.
