The problem
What This Category Is For
Buying a plate supplier and a machine supplier separately means nobody owns the etch result. SGZ supplies the plate, the additive and the machine, so the bath chemistry and the plate are matched from the start.
Who buys it
- New etching houses setting up a first line
- Plate makers adding capacity
- Trophy and medal manufacturers
- In-house die shops inside printing groups
