Currie Group New Zealand has brought in CTP and consumables expert Steve Monkhouse as the company looks at growing its service in these sectors. Craig Paul, general manager for Currie Group New Zealand, says, “Our footprint in both CTP and consumables has expanded markedly.

The company’s CTP portfolio includes Agfa, ECRM, Mitsubishi, and Cron. Monkhouse says, “We don’t sell technology on its own. We match up the best solutions with each customer depending on their needs and their production. Cron CTP is modular and can be built up from a stand-alone manual CTP system to a fully automatic system. “We have a number of new solutions and more coming. We also offer Fujikura blankets, the market demands higher press speeds, more colour, higher-quality outputs, and greater ease of use. We see Fujikura blankets as a key to higher pressroom productivity. We have a number of other quality brands such as Hurst washes and Nikken fountain solution chemistry. He concludes, “I am looking forward to working with Currie group customers to provide the best possible CTP and consumables solutions for their needs.â€
