Caterpillar Signs supports some of the world’s biggest brands and has a huge international clientele. The FabriVU 340i+ will allow the company to keep abreast of the expected uplift in throughput. 

Nishant Shah, CEO, Caterpillar Signs, said, “The soft signage market is booming, as it has been embraced as a complete green technology which reduces the need of PVC-based materials, which makes it a complete eco-friendly solution. We anticipate swift growth in the near future.”

The FabriVU 340i+ is a 3.4-m wide dye-sublimation printer with an inline fixation system. The integrated fixation capability is perfect for companies that don’t want to spare floor space or Capex spend for an additional standalone heat press. 

Nishant said the new addition will help the company cater to new business segments and meet the increased ongoing demands. “It will give us the capability to print and ship immediately which wasn’t possible with the older versions as it needed calendaring separately. The output of the FabriVU 340i+ will help us deliver high-quality banners, flags, teardrops, exhibition graphics and many more applications which will create a new horizon for us,” he said.

Sam Patel, CEO and managing director, Arrow Digital, said, “The new Vutek FabriVU 340i+ offers customers the widest application range, the lowest TCO in the market, the highest income yield with lowest acquisition cost. Its versatility allows for direct transfer and paper sublimation, with inline fixing switched on as and when required.”

He added, “Caterpillar Signs has been our esteemed customer for years, and we are determined to work with them with cutting-edge sustainable solutions and help them build a well-recognised brand in the world.”
