Digital cutting systems developer Zünd and welding equipment manufacturer Forsstrom have announced a global co-operation agreement, which is intended to benefit textile and banner printers. Under the agreement, Zünd UK will distribute and provide service for Forsstrom high-frequency welders in the UK.

"In print finishing and especially with textiles and banners, we've found that the backlog resulting from the speed and efficiencies of the Zund G3 cutters is now in the final finishing, i.e. hemming and welding, so this new alliance makes complete sense and will be welcomed by our customers," comments Peter Giddings, sales director of Zünd UK.

"With this new agreement we can eliminate entirely the old bottlenecks and deliver a full and holistic finishing solution to meet the high standards expected at this professional level."

Zünd UK will demonstrate Forsstrom high-frequency welding products, which are also used in the production of billboards and other items, in its UK showroom from early November.
