Graphtec GB is increasing its support for the WidInovations range of CNC cutting, routing and engraving solutions

The demand for high quality and reliable CNC solutions is growing within the sign and display industry. Graphtec GB is strengthening its commitment to the WidInovations range of technologically advanced and robust CNC equipment in the UK market, with an exclusive UK distribution agreement that includes increased local support and backup. 



Following a recent visit to WidInovations' head office in Portugal, Tom Kneale, Managing Director of Graphtec GB, said, “We have had a long and successful partnership with WidInovations and already have many important customers in the UK. This partnership ensures that our existing and potential customers have access to world class equipment and our dedicated engineering support, enabling them to maximise their investment.”

WidInovations CNC machines are a European leader in cutting and routing machines for a broad range of industries. They are ideally suited to the sign and graphics market because they accurately cut a broad range of rigid materials, including aluminium, composites, wood, and plastics, which are often used in sign-making. The company’s product manufacturing philosophy is to use only high quality raw materials, resulting in equipment that is reliable, robust, and consistently precise.
Tom adds, “We have always been very happy with the quality of Widcnc products, and so have our customers. It makes sense for us to increase our commitment and investment in supplying and supporting them with our superb engineers and knowledgeable sales team.”

Marco Apolinario, Sales Director for WidInovations, says, “It was a pleasure to welcome Tom and Phil Kneale to our facilities in Portugal and to show them how we build quality into every aspect of our business. We are very happy to be working with Graphtec GB in the UK and look forward to supporting their increased commitment to our products.”
