SIGN INDUSTRY NEWS REGULARS Trotec Group Partners With Crystalite Plastics It was announced at the Sign Africa Nelspruit expo on 20 February that Crystalite Plastics has been appointed by the Trotec Group to offer consumables and support of Trotec’s products. Crystalite will cover Nelspruit and surrounding areas, as well as Mozambique and Swaziland. Carlos De Almeida, manager at Crystalite Plastics said, ‘We already have technicians servicing Mimaki in Mozambique and Swaziland, so it makes sense for us to sell Trotec consumables and offer the servicing of these in the same region. We are looking forward to the growth as well as offering customers a wider range of products.’ ‘De Almeida has a great product offering and has serviced the region for 22 years. He offers great service and quality to his customers,’ said Francoise de Roubaix, product manager at the Trotec Group. To kick things off, a training workshop was hosted at Crystalite Plastics’ Nelspruit premises in partnership with Trotec on 21 February. www.crystalite.co.za Francoise de Roubaix, Trotec South Africa and Carlos De Almeida, Crystalite Plastics.
