The relationship between Produlith and Bobst goes back many years. While Desmarchais is proud of his com- pany’s commitment to one-on-one service, Bobst also has a long history of going the extra mile to build relationships and support customers. “Our relationship has always been very special to us. We are always treated so nicely,” he said. “My wife and I were even invited to visit Bobst HQ in Lausanne a few years ago, and we were received with such class. The Bobst team is incredible and is always there to help. “When we realized we needed new machinery, we con- tacted our representative Rob (McGillis, Sales Manager at Bobst North America) to open discussions and talk about the different options available to serve our needs.” Those needs were met with two new solutions: the Bobst NOVACUT 106 ER die-cutter and VISIONFOLD 80 folder-gluer. “Purchasing two big machines in the same year has been challenging,” Desmarchais said, “but we knew the features of both would be very much worth it.” When asked what he can now offer his customers that he couldn’t before, Desmarchais’ answer is simple. “Better quality and better lead times,” he says. “The machines perform extremely well at speed, offer- ing us great agility and control. This allows us to bid on larger volumes of production and be more competitive in our approach with customers.” Before the company's new Bobst folder gluer and die cutter are, from left, Aaron Chap, Bruno Lemay (back), Farida Belar- bia, Annick Garcin, and Shawn Desmarchais, President.
