“We also met our goals for Nozomi in Q1, and with increasing traction in the packaging market, look for sequential growth in unit shipments through the year. With Nozomi and the solid line-up of new products planned for the second half of the year, the entire EFI team is excited and energised about the significant opportunities in 2018 and beyond.”
