Komori Europe and Highcon enter strategic partnership

Komori Europe is in the process of installing a Highcon Euclid III digital cutting and creasing machine at the Komori Graphic Center-Europe in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and will sell and support the entire Highcon product line in France, Italy, UK and the Netherlands.

Highcon’s digital finishing equipment is described as ‘the perfect complement’ to the Komori fleet of offset presses, as well as the new Impremia IS29, 29in inkjet, sheet-fed UV printing system.

Peter Minis, marketing manager for Komori Europe, said: ‘We are very pleased with this partnership that highlights Komori’s commitment to support our customers developing successful business models utilizing both offset and digital print, from concept to final product.

‘We are convinced that our European customers will benefit from the combined expertise of our two companies, allowing them to develop and deliver innovative applications and a faster time to market.’

Jens Henrik Osmundsen, vice president of global sales at Highcon, said: ‘We already have several joint customers and are proud that Komori, with their 100 year focus on reliability and quality, understands the true value that our technology can bring to their customers, whether offset or digital. We look forward to working together to expand the Highcon customer base.’
