The machine was launched at the Birmingham-based trade show as part of a broadening of Tech-ni-fold’s traditional sector of auxiliary finishing equipment, which can be attached to folding and binding machines to remove cracking issues.

According to managing director Graham Harris, the shift in products is already paying off. "Our CreaseStream machines are helping our company get back to levels reached before the downturn, so it is very exciting," he said.

"We have just sold our 40th CreaseStream Junior machine since Ipex and are receiving many new leads from all over the world."
