Kongsberg Sells C64 Digital Finishing Tale On Display At SuperCorrExpo The Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems (Kongsberg PCS) team set a new gold standard for its own exhibition success, selling its booth centerpiece Kongsberg C64 dig- ital finishing table with Feeder and Stacker within hours of the opening of this year’s SuperCorrExpo event in Orlan- do, Florida. “We had been incredibly excited to attend our first ‘in- person’ event of the year with our cutting system, but I don’t think anyone expected we’d sell the main exhibit on the first day!” said Heather Roden, North America Sales Director with Kongsberg PCS. “This was the North Ameri- can exhibition debut of the latest version of the Kongsberg Feeder and Stacker. While Graphic Images Inc. might not be the typical SuperCorrExpo attendee - with their busi- ness being environmental graphics and displays while this expo traditionally hosts corrugated packaging manufac- turers – my colleague Rick LeBlanc had encouraged the owners to attend this year’s event for our presentation. “The on-booth demo highlighted the system’s ability to operate fully unmanned,” added Roden. “We demonstrat- ed how the underside camera system reads QR codes and registration marks to ensure accuracy while dynamically moving from job to job on the Kongsberg C64 finishing table.” Following the demonstration, LeBlanc, with the on- booth assistance of fellow salesman Allan Hanlon, con- ducted negotiations with Graphic Images owners Jerry Goudreau and Ryan Goudreau, with Roden sealing the deal and shaking hands with the pair then and there. “The Kongsberg C64 show system will be installed at Graphic Images’ facility in Pompano Beach, Florida,” said Roden. “Since the business is based in Florida, where the event was hosted, the complete Kongsberg digital finish- ing system will be in their facility within a matter of days. Our Technical Solutions Expert, John Wilson, even made a bespoke ‘sold’ sign using the table, which was proudly displayed for the remainder of the event.” “We are thrilled that Rick LeBlanc at Kongsberg PCS was so resolute in encouraging us to come to this year’s SuperCorrExpo,” said Ryan Goudreau, General Manager of Graphic Images Inc. “From the moment the demo be- gan, we were impressed with the Kongsberg’s build qual- ity and performance, and the enormous efficiency gains the feeder and stacker will deliver were obvious to see.
