EMT International and Standard Finishing Systems Expand Collaboration

EMT International and Standard Finishing Systems announced a strategic partnership to deliver integrated finishing solutions that help digital print providers automate production, streamline workflows and expand their finishing capabilities.

The partnership is built on an already successful collaboration that began with the seamless integration of EMT's roll-fed cutting technology and Horizon's folding solutions. The combined solution has been shown at several industry events over the last year to demonstrate the production of various direct mail applications. Together, the companies have now sold multiple integrated finishing lines, with systems currently installed and running in several customer production facilities.

These early implementations demonstrated the strength of the combined solution through the creation of automated workflows that reduced manual handling and improved production efficiency. Building on that successful foundation, EMT and Standard will continue exploring opportunities to integrate complementary technologies and develop additional finishing solutions for digital print applications.

"Our customers are increasingly looking for complete solutions that bring multiple technologies together into a single, integrated workflow," said Mike Herold, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at EMT International. "This partnership allows us to build on the success we've already achieved together while continuing to develop solutions that help customers automate more of their production process."

"Our early collaborations demonstrated the value that our combined solutions can bring to print providers," said Steven Reny, President at Standard Finishing Systems. "By formalizing this partnership, we can build on that momentum while developing productive, integrated workflows that help customers improve efficiency and expand the range of applications they can produce."
