Friday 01. March 2013 - Converters and printers are flocking to see the Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing machine at events in Europe, Scandinavia and the United States.

Plantin bvba, a division of Staples group and Highcon’s channel partner in Benelux, is gearing up for the third opportunity for their contacts to see the Euclid benefits in action in Brussels. Plantin has already held two very successful events. The first, in December, was a dedicated event aimed at short-run packaging converters and printers, and a delegation from Vouwkarton Platform Nederland the Dutch folding carton association, joined other potential customers at Plantin’s second event at the beginning of February.
