Investment leads to more
work opportunities for the company.
Arizona 360 GTOcé, part of the Canon Group, has released details of how a £250,000 investment by UK based Phoenix Colour plc in an Océ Arizona 360 GT and ZÜND cutting systems has increased the ability for the Leicester-based company to develop more work opportunities.
The long-established business employing 13 people has specialised in digital printing for the last 17 years. With the purchase of the Océ Arizona 360 GT and a ZÜND G3 L2500 cutter it has now expanded its digital portfolio to include flatbed printing.
Business owner Peter Davis said:” The Océ Arizona and ZÜND are head and shoulders above the opposition in terms of quality. The investment, which will have paid for itself within three years, has given me a new lease in printing and has already brought more business to the company.”
Océ commented that new business is growing rapidly for Phoenix Colour with approximately 25 per cent of work previously done on other printers and mounted manually to substrate had already been transferred to the Arizona. It added that new outlets had been developed which include various size boxes that are being printed and cut for bespoke promotional products such as game boards. Another example cited was for kitchen companies who require display boards for international business shows and others who require print samples direct on to wood.
Océ pointed out another benefit which is that 75 per cent of die-cutting work previously outsourced is now done in-house at Phoenix Colour, a company providing an all-round business service from initial concepts and personalised marketing campaigns through to a fully equipped design studio, print operation and distribution channels.
Colour Phoenix plc owner Peter Davis with the company's Océ Arizona 360 GT“The reason for buying Océ and ZÜND systems was based purely on quality against the competition,” continued Mr Davis. “Government funding also helped reduce the price by £25,000. It’s been so successful that I am now having a big sales drive in the POS (Point of Sale) market and expect to grow my business in that area by 25 per cent in the next year alone.”
Dominic Fahy, Océ UK’s Business Group Director, Display Graphics and Imaging Supplies, said: “The feedback from Phoenix Colour is typical of companies that are improving their bottom line by investing for the future. The Océ Arizonas are impressive digital systems that set the standard in the market for quality. They can help create new innovative applications to drive new business and realise cost savings and productivity improvements.”
