Scodix has confirmed the first sale of its Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD press to Simeoni Arti Grafiche, at ‘Corrugated’, FESPA. The deal, facilitated through Scodix’s strategic distribution partner HEIDELBERG Italy, marks the official market entry of the world’s first digital embellishment solution designed specifically for rigid and corrugated substrates.
Simeoni Arti Grafiche is a long-standing Scodix customer, having first invested in Scodix technology nearly a decade ago. In a definitive vote of trust in Scodix’s innovation and reliability, the Italian printing pioneer will add the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD to its existing print offering as a second, dedicated powerhouse to drive new growth.
Under the leadership of founder and CEO Silvano Simeoni, the company will utilise the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD to unlock new creative possibilities in the Signage & Display and High-End Packaging sectors. While the new press is also designed to handle corrugated media, Simeoni’s strategic focus will center on the “premiumization” of rigid materials and complex textured substrates, including Dibond, acrylic, Forex, and foam board.
“Our relationship with Scodix began nearly ten years ago, and our first machine is still a vital part of our print offering today,” said Silvano Simeoni, Founder and CEO of Simeoni Arti Grafiche. “Choosing to add a second Scodix press, the new Ultra 7000 SHD, is a clear statement of our trust in Scodix’s category-defining technology. While we see the new press’s potential in corrugated, our true passion lies in the transformation of rigid and textured materials. Our new press will allow us to offer our customers a level of tactile sophistication and visual impact on heavy-duty substrates that simply didn’t exist in the digital realm until now.”
“There is no greater compliment than a long-term partner, like Simeoni Arti Grafiche, returning to us for their next phase of growth,” said Eli Grinberg, CEO and co-founder, Scodix. “We are thrilled that Silvano and his team are the first to adopt the new Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD. By bringing Scodix’s technology to rigid substrates, we are empowering printers to enter high-margin markets that were previously unreachable. This installation, supported by our partners at Heidelberg Italy, proves once again that Scodix leads where others follow.”
