His appointment at Caterham is to drive the team towards greater success and Ravetto acknowledges how important it is to have a partner capable of translating the team’s core values into visuals that reflect these goals. “Whether it is on the track or projecting our image across various media, our team is focused on results”, he said. “That is why we required a technical partner that could deliver quality that matches our high engineering standards. Mimaki impressed us with the creative versatility their solutions have to offer and won us over immediately.”

Mike Horsten, General Manager Marketing EMEA for Mimaki Europe, is very enthusiastic about the new partnership: “Formula One is all about precision, flexibility, quality and success; characteristics we also associate with every print and cut solution Mimaki develops and puts into the market. This close cooperation allows us to demonstrate the sheer breadth of what Mimaki can deliver. Our solutions are as flexible, creative and qualitative as a highly demanding race team management requires them to be. We consider it an honour and a privilege to supply the team with the latest printing and cutting solutions, the results of which will be highly visible in the pits and paddock areas of race tracks around the world.”

To achieve that success, we selected a reliable partner we can count on for quality and consistency. We’re convinced this partnership with Mimaki will deliver the right solutions for the job.”
