McGowans has become the first company in the UK and Ireland to buy a Durst Rho 1312. It forms part of a €2m investment with Durst in the past 18 months, which has included a Rho 1030 and P10 320. Commercial printing on the newest machine goes live this week.
Mal McGowan, owner and founder of the company, and who has been buying Durst kit for 15 years, said: “Our investment in the latest leading-edge Durst system enables us to keep at the forefront of technology. The Rho 1312 is the best flatbed in its class so it was a natural collaboration for McGowans and Durst to partner once again. We acknowledge that our clients have the highest of expectations with quality, speed and of course cost, and we are dedicated always to improving our machinery offering to improve our service. The opportunities are limitless with this investment.”
The Durst Rho will enable McGowans to enter additional markets given that it prints on various materials from foam sheets to aluminium, acrylic gloss, PVC, plastics and corrugated boards.
