Wilmot-Budgen, the family owned production specialist working with the UK’s top brands and retailers to design, produce and install high quality, innovative display solutions, has secured a UK market first with the acquisition of an Onset Panthera flatbed digital inkjet press from Agfa.

Managing director Richard Budgen said, ‘We are a long term fan of the Onset platform, and have been hanging on to see where LED would head.’

He continued, ‘This investment will see us gain significant speed and productivity benefits, as well as further boost our print quality. And, with the Panthera’s significant energy reduction performance, we are keeping our brand, retailer, and print management customers front of mind supporting them to meet their sustainability goals, as well as reducing our waste and costs.

‘Today’s market is highly competitive. We need to be continually upping our game differentiating our offer and service. The Panthera enables us to produce products with a wider colour gamut and different finishes, which offers valuable upsell for our business.’
