Duplo UK has entered into an exclusive agreement with Photobook Technology (PBT) to distribute its range of Mita hardcover book production solutions in the UK.
The Mitafold is an automatic folding and creasing machine for photo book sections. It is a gluing machine, which glues half-folded sheets together to build perfectly square and lay-flat book blocks.
The machine is a fully automatic, hardcover casing-in machine designed to economically produce short-run, hard cover books. All systems are easy to operate, require little floor space and fill the gap between semi-automatic hard cover systems and higher production equipment.
‘The Mita range is a great fit to our product line and we are very excited to be able to offer a full line of products for hard cover applications, in particular lay-flat books,’ said Peter Jolly, managing director. ‘Our research shows us that there is a growing demand for higher quality hard-cover books required in relatively low volumes and we believe these products are the right fit for the market and fit with our ethos of Automated Precision. It will enable our customer-base to diversify their product offering, up-sell to existing clients and profit from specialised finishing.’
‘We are delighted to welcome such a large name as Duplo UK to the PBT family. They are relevant to so many print organisations, and have a great track record in developing third party distributorships. We are very excited,’ said Kurt Richter from PBT.
