Waregem, Belgium – 16 December, 2021
In today’s highly competitive global market, the need to reduce inventory costs, to implement just-in-time manufacturing, to meet consumer demands and many other challenges has motivated the development of new digital solutions. Barberan’s advanced digital printing and texturing lines combined with Unilin Technologies’ strong patent portfolio in this field are now delivering the ideal, comprehensive technical solution for decorative rigid board manufacturers.
“We believe the time was right to join forces with Unilin Technologies. Their early and continued research into this technology resulted in the first and most relevant IP relating to digital printing and texturing. They are a powerful ally and therefore ideally placed to license this technology into the decorative board market,” says Eladio Lerga at Barberan.
