The unveiling at next month’s industry event marks the first time that the Swedish-made thermal binder will be available in the UK.

Renz managing director Iain Bullock signed the exclusive UK selling rights to the 5000 and 1000 models after negotiations following the manufacturer first approaching Renz at Frankfurt’s Paperworld event in February 2013.

"These two machines sit exactly in line with the existing entry level bench top binders that we offer and they have relatively high margins, allowing us to offer reasonable discounts to our reseller network," Bullock said.

He said that the two machines would be distributed through the company’s various UK reseller channels, in line with strategies in place to only deliver direct sales for products over £20,000.

Bullock declined to name any potential resellers for the Bindomatic 5000 and 1000, but said that negotiations were taking place, with the retail price being set at £895 and £345 respectively.

He added that the Bindomatic 5000 would suit document finishers and copy shops, while the 1000 was a "true office" machine. The 5000 can bind up to 15 document per cycle of any paper format with a spine length up to 370mm.

The Bindomatic range also features the 101, a larger more automated binder, which is currently distributed in the UK through Morgana. Renz will now liaise with Morgana to sell this third machine when necessary.

Renz will also be showing the new 56 NET guillotine from Mohr, for which it became a supplier following talks at Drupa, and the MOBI 360 wire binder, which was launched at Northprint two years’ ago.
