KAMA to launch automatic die cutter in the UK

KAMA GmbH is to launch its multifunctional die cutters into the UK market.  The Automatic Die Cutter ProCut 74, designed and produced in Germany specifically for the graphics industry, will be marketed and distributed through KAMA UK Ltd in Oxfordshire. This company is a joint venture of the Dresden based machine construction company KAMA GmbH and will be run by sales and marketing specialist Ian Jones.

‘We would like to increase awareness in the printing community in the UK through closer contact with clients, machine demonstrations and extensive on-site consultation,’ explained Marcus Tralau, CEO of KAMA GmbH. ‘We are aware that German mechanical engineering is highly regarded for its precision and technology as well as flexibility and versatility and we believe that the ProCut 74 will be very well received.’

KAMA UK, will be presenting the new finishing die cutter in Leeds at the Komori workshop called ‘Facing the Future’, on 9-11 October.

‘It is the versatility and wide range of applications that makes the ProCut 74 so interesting for the British market,’ explained industry specialist and CEO of the new company Ian Jones. ‘More and more often finishing for print products in this country is being carried out to a very high standard of quality.  Commercial printers are recognizing that an in-house finishing service is a much more cost-effective strategy, giving them complete control over the added-value of the end product.’

The Automatic Die Cutter ProCut 74 processes the half-sheet format that is most frequently used in the UK. Very short set up times and fast changeovers between functions make the further processing and finishing of small and mid-sized print runs profitable. The high-quality KAMA die cutter is seen as the successor to an old platen or cylinder cutter. ‘Compared to a cylinder, the ProCut 74 is twice as efficient, delivers better quality when die cutting or creasing and offers additional finishing options,’ Ian Jones continued. ‘A further advantage is that it is possible to continue to use existing die-cutting tools thanks to a special chase.’
