Morgana has doubled exports every year for the past three years. It now ships 3,000 machines, which accounts for over 80% of its output.

"We concentrated our efforts on European markets three years ago, now we're looking at new markets," said Morgana export manager Andy Cooper.

Uchida has also ordered a "substantial number" of Morgana's semi-automatic creasing unit, the Electro-Creaser.

Milton Keynes-based Morgana has also reported a 100,000 (AUS$250,000) folder deal from its Australian agent. Additionally Italian distributor Forgraf has placed a mixed order for folding systems and creasers.
