Installed at the Leeds-based company in August, the machine can process materials up to 110mm thick and will help the business to meet the growing demand for rigid substrates such as Correx, Foamex, and ACM panels.

Earlier this year, the business took on an Agfa Jeti Tauro H3300 printer to enable it to continue to specialise in ‘just-in-time’ production of UV rigid and roll-to-roll products.

FaberExposize UK managing director Iain Clasper-Cotte said: “The installation of the Jeti Tauro this year significantly sped up our print output and we quickly realised that our factory would benefit from a second Zünd machine entirely dedicated to cutting rigid materials.

“We’re well-known across the country for the quality of our fabric print so we want to show our clients that we’re just as skilled when it comes to rigid media production.”

FaberExposize UK and Northern Flags have been part of European printed display fabrics network FaberExposize for 35 years. The combined group employs over 700 people with production hubs in Thailand, Poland, France, and The Netherlands.

The group serves customers ranging from multinational brands to print management companies, advertising agencies, sports companies, and event management businesses.
