Komori and Highcon enter strategic business partnership in Japan

Komori said the partnership is a key step in its strategy to provide a comprehensive offering to its customers, covering both analog and digital workflows, and spanning printing and finishing alike. 

Komori said by offering the Impremia IS29 UV inkjet digital printing machine and the Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing system customers will be able to grow their business by adding value.

‘We believe that concluding the agreement with Highcon is an important step in Komori’s business target of being a print engineering service provider,’ said Eiji Kajita, operation officer and global sales and service group general manager at Komori

‘We are encouraging our customers’ success by providing a variety of solutions to resolve their problems with partner companies from all over the world. The combination of Highcon’s innovative system and Komori’s products will provide a new business model which has not been possible to implement until now.’ 

Aviv Ratzman, Highcon CEO and co-founder, added: ‘This partnership is a testament to the quality and industrial strength of our product offering which brings huge benefits to both digital and conventional workflows. We are proud to have our young technology taking its place amidst the portfolio of Komori, with its almost 100 years of experience of manufacturing products of superior quality and reliability.’

The first Highcon Euclid in Japan has been installed at Komori’s Graphic Technology Center in Tsukuba.
