30-Year-old Zund Cutter still going strong
A reliable family member, the constant in the company history. Installed in August 1990, Graphic Box has one of the oldest fully operational Zund machines in the UK.
Graphic Box is a father and son run company specialising in conferences, exhibitions, television, and event graphics. Based in the heart of London, the family-run business has been providing a variety of services including large format print, cut vinyl, polystyrene letters, computer routing, and pop-up displays for over 35 years.
The company pride themselves on being a one-stop service for all their customers, from supplying artwork to production and installation where they provide a full in-house service.
Paul Minton at Graphics Box explained: “We are a friendly, professional service and pride ourselves on going that extra mile to ensure our clients are more than satisfied with the finished product, and we are able to work to tight deadlines without losing that personal touch. This is what makes us different compared to the other suppliers”.
Graphic Box took delivery of their P-1200 Zund cutter in August 1990, 5 years after starting up their business in Central London. At the time, the company was managed by Lawrence Minton, the father of Paul Minton.
Lawrence Minton said: “Graphic Box was a leader in supplying graphics to the exhibition and conference industries and wished to stay at the forefront in producing both vinyl lettering and routed letters. The Zund P-1200 cutter with its router suited our needs better than any other machine at the time and in the 30 years we have had it, has never let us down”.
In addition, Graphic box takes great pride in making sure their Zund cutter is always running to its optimum performance and still have a service contract in place with Zund UK.
Dean Ashworth, Sales and Marketing Manager at Zund UK said: “Here at Zund UK we are proud to have supported Graphics Box with a single Zund cutter that has met all of their cutting requirements for the last 30 years. This longevity alone really does pay testament to the unrivaled quality of engineering of our products and it’s great to see that’s it’s still going strong to this day. We’re now looking forward to introducing Paul and Lawrence to the latest innovations in Zund cutting technology and take them to the next level!”
