Stuart Bamford, national sales manager at Friedheim International, has said there is “no excuse” for industry members not to attend The Print Show this year, revealing that the supplier will use the event to address demand in the wider market.
“We are always excited when there is an event like this in the UK and we see this as an exciting opportunity to meet new and existing customers, as well as sell machines,” Bamford said. “There isnt anything else like this, the venue is perfect and there is no excuse for anyone not to go.”

However, the technologies that could draw significant interest at the show will be the new Schneider Senator 78 Advance guillotine and Wohlenberg 80 Basic Line high speed cutter.
“The machines that we are showing are where we see the greatest demand in the UKB2 folding, laminating, cutting and shrink wrapping,” Bamford said.
“We see this as a good opportunity to boost our profile, especially with publicity materials for the show. It will allow us to show our small to medium range of equipment to a wider audience.
“Personally, Im looking forward to the show and glad to be a part of it.”
