According to Bonallo, “The word Absolute was chosen as our name because its definition is really what we are all about. Absolute stands for perfection and completeness in quality with no limitations or restrictions. We added U.S.A to our title because we are proud to be a privately held U.S company."

Our team, which will be well recognized within the printing industry, bring an unparalleled degree of experience and creditability at virtually every level, particularly in the all important service side of the business.” “We are excited to be given the opportunity to raise the bar once again and redefine the standard for press ancillary equipment but even more important the level of service, support and response our customers should expect from a responsible supplier.
