Intec Printing Solutions which is headquartered in Poole, Dorset is a large global supplier of equipment solutions for the print and graphic markets.
The acquisition means Plockmatic will now look to expand sales of Intec’s devices such as its ColorCut range which includes large-format production flatbed cutting products.
Ray Hillhouse, vice president of sales and marketing for Plockmatic’s Offline Business Unit, says: “Our UK Morgana sales team have enjoyed considerable success with the Valiani range of large-format finishing systems in recent years. We see the ColorCut suite of products complementing these in the UK and providing a terrific opportunity in this expanding market segment for our international dealerships worldwide.”
Becoming a part of Plockmatic Group means Intec will sit alongside side well-known companies like Morgana and Watkiss and their offline finishing systems.
Intec will continue to operate and configure products at its Poole headquarters, retaining all staff, as well as continuing operations in Tampa, Florida.
These systems are ideal for small to medium sized print-based operations that need to provide professionally cut and finished promotional display boards, boxes, labels and more. This is a sector of the market that has grown rapidly in recent years, and one that Plockmatic is keen to further explore and expand.”Swedish chief executive officer of Plockmatic International, Jan Marstorp, comments: “Intec is well known in the industry for providing quality products at competitive prices. The ColorCut range of cutting systems have been well received by the market, with sales in the UK, across North America, and many other international territories.

Speaking about the growth of Intec, Marstorp adds: “We also see a good match for these products with our large OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers who provide printers. These products will enable more applications and allow them to grow further into the light packaging and labelling market segment.”
