Launched in late 2016, ProCo’s Spark initiative showcases creative opportunities in print
Finishing equipment supplier IFS is partnering with ProCo to support the latter’s Spark education and innovation initiative that aims to showcase inspirational print applications to both staff and customers.
ProCo managing director Giles Bowes explained: ‘Our vision is to improve knowledge among customers, colleagues and partners through collaboration via a bespoke learning environment, as well as our working studio, press room, finishing and fulfilment teams. We also share some brilliant examples of innovation in print. That is where IFS comes in. Working with the systems from IFS allows us to bring ideas to life into finished products with high quality results.’
IFS has supplied a Horizon CRF-362 creaser/folder, a BQ-270V single clamp perfect binder and an SPF-200A bookletmaker with a HOF-400 digital feeder and a TBC200L top and bottom cutter at ProCo’s Stansted site, and a StitchLiner 5500 and BQ-270V at the Sheffield one.
Bryan Godwyn, IFS managing director, commented: ‘We are excited to be part of such an inspiring initiative that promotes dynamic and aspirational print. Our systems are known for their robust and reliable build as well as their high-quality, accurate and effective results. But this allows them to showcase the more creative opportunities that operations can embrace.’
