Based in Wrexham, Graphtec GB provides cutting, engraving, marking, and print finishing equipment.
Its new partnership with Mutoh adds wide-format print technology to its bow and means it will ensure comprehensive nationwide coverage for the manufacturer.
Mitsuo Takatsu, managing director of Mutoh Europe, said: “Strong and effective distribution is vital for our continued success in the UK and we are delighted to have agreed this partnership with Graphtec GB.
“The breadth and quality of our products are at the very top level in this industry, and having a committed and hugely respected distributor like Graphtec GB representing us is fantastic news for the UK market.
“We are very confident that Graphtec’s extensive experience and unrivalled reputation for delivering high-quality wide-format cutting, finishing and software solutions will seamlessly integrate with our printing technology to make them a very formidable and comprehensive wide-format solutions provider for the UK.”
He added: “Graphtec GB’s commitment to delivering top-quality products and exceptional customer service aligns perfectly with Mutoh’s core values. We are very excited about this partnership and are looking forward to working with Graphtec GB.”
Phil Kneale, director of Graphtec GB, said the business had been actively researching the market for the right printer partner and that the business was “very happy” to have agreed on the deal with Mutoh Europe.
“Mutoh is one of the most established and well-known suppliers of wide-format printers, with a comprehensive portfolio of cutting-edge, innovative machines and ink technologies.”
The manufacturer’s line up of sign and display printers includes entry-level ValueJet machines, a family of XpertJet Pro printers with the new MS51 eco-friendly inks, and the industrial UV LED flatbed PerformanceJet for high-production printing. Mutoh also offers direct-to-object UV LED machines in different sizes.
Graphtec GB managing director Tom Kneale added: “Mutoh has an excellent reputation for its high-quality, reliable, and innovative printers that cater to a wide range of industries.
“This gives us an extensive line up of products that we can offer to our resellers to help them deliver complete wide-format solutions for their customers.
“This one-stop-shop approach means that the products, installation, training and support can be carried out by one company, adding value, peace of mind and ensuring better service for the end user.”
A range of Mutoh sign and display and direct-to-object printers have been installed at Graphtec GB’s showroom in Wrexham and are available for demonstrations, testing, and training.
Phil Kneale said Graphtec GB had spent a lot of time learning about the Mutoh products and is now ready to invite its resellers to check the kit out, test it in action and bring customers to see it.
“We have appointed a dedicated product manager for the Mutoh range, and we will be in regular communication with our resellers to give them all the help they need to promote the Mutoh products and to win more business.”
