ST ALBANS, UK - Zünd UK has had a record year for machine sales, with a 35% increase compared to 2013.

Sales of Zünd UK's digital cutting systems have been very strong across all markets, from sign and display, to packaging, from automotive to aerospace, and from leather to special applications. 

In the graphics sector, the new Zünd G3 L-2500 in Fine Print's display department attracted the attention of Prime Minister David Cameron during a visit, John E Wright's Zünd G3 XL-3200 system enabled more work to be brought in-house, while Logoshack moved into the POS sector with its new Zünd S3 L-1200.

In packaging, Blue Box Design – a specialist in presentation boxes for luxury goods – modernised its processes with a Zünd S3 L-1200; export-related packaging expert Allport Packaging has made its sample production workflow more efficient thanks to a Zünd G3 M2500; and Sheard Packaging's new Zünd G3 L-2500 has increased its daily capacity for sample-making.

In addition, aircraft interiors specialist AIM Composites purchased a Zünd S3 L-1600 after seeing a version at 2013's Composites Engineering Show and finding it 'a better all-round package' compared to other machines in the field.

Zünd cutting systems also had a starring role in a recent episode of Innovations with Ed Begley, Jr on the USA's Discovery Channel and in the flesh at Zünd UK's recently renovated demonstration suite at its St Albans HQ.

"We've had a very successful 2014 across the board and expect 2015 to be just as busy," says Peter Giddings, Zünd UK Sales Director. "We're seeing renewed confidence in the UK's manufacturing sector with more businesses looking to invest in systems that will make their workflow faster and more efficient, or allow them to explore new markets. 

"We're looking forward to inviting more resellers and customers to our revamped demonstration centre in 2015 to show how Zünd equipment can be used within an efficient end-to-end workflow in a range of industries, as well as showcasing our systems at a number of events."
