The partnership allows Mimaki USA to distribute Gravotech’s products, including mechanical and laser engravers as well as engraving materials, throughout the U.S.
“People interact everyday with products produced on Mimaki and Gravograph solutions. From large industrial companies, sign shops, retails stores and more, our mutual customers develop products that can benefit from both offerings. Our partnership aims to enhance workflows all while adding to the strengths of our individual processes and ensuring our customers can continue to create high-quality products with ease,” said Michael Maxwell, senior manager at Mimaki USA.
“This is an exciting new partnership that will integrate complementary Gravograph laser, rotary engraving, and materials solutions to the Mimaki portfolio of printing systems.
