Youssef Ajana, CEO of Imprimerie Ideale, said: ‘The first machine was perfect for short to medium runs, the second machine will provide us with the ability of longer run work.’

Reda Moukite, Edale’s agent for Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and west Africa, commented: ‘We are absolutely delighted that Imprimerie Ideale have chosen Edale as their machinery supplier again. This really is testament that the customer service, high levels of automation and continued innovation from Edale is at its highest.’
