Probo Plastogrommet Boost in capacity for Probo following PLASTGrommet investment

The All In One from PLASTGrommet

An investment in PLASTGrommet’s finishing solutions for Probo now means the trade printer can deliver products to customers faster and at a better price.

Jordy de Jong, marketing and business development manager, Probo, said: “Probo’s approach to selecting new equipment aligns with the principles of Industry 5.0, where automation, human creativity, and sustainability intersect to create a smarter and more efficient production environment.

“This focus on future-proof technology reflects Probo’s mission to empower print professionals and lead the way in manufacturing Industry 5.0—a smarter, more sustainable print industry built on innovation and collaboration.”

The All In One from PLASTGrommet is a cutting-edge automated solution for large-format banner finishing, seamlessly integrating welding, eyeleting, and cutting into a single efficient process. Designed with productivity in mind, the All In One reduces lead times and labour costs while conserving valuable floor space. Key features include an automatic roll edge alignment system, a vision system for precise eyelet and cut mark reading, and industrial-grade hot air welders capable of 24/7 operation.

In 2022, Probo took delivery of the All In One at its Dokkum location, and haven’t looked back since. Probo’s All In One configuration offers a choice of four fixed formats; 100cm, 150cm, 175cm, and 200cm, and gives customers the option of a hemming or hemming and rings finish.

Mr de Jong added: “The investment in the PLASTGrommet finishing machine has significantly impacted Probo’s business by increasing the share of wallet with our existing print professionals. Previously, print professionals relied on Probo for low-volume barrier banners, thanks to our flexibility and quality. With the introduction of the All In One, we are now able to offer competitive solutions for high-volume orders as well. This dual capability – serving both low and high volumes – ensures that customers can consolidate all their barrier banner needs with Probo, rather than sourcing high volumes elsewhere.”

The positive impact of the All In One is evident from the customer response. Previously, many Probo customers expressed regret that they could not order high-volume barrier banners at a desirable price point.
