1000th Platino 2D laser delivered 07/12/2007
 
Prima Industrie has produced and delivered its 1000th Platino 2D laser cutting machine.

This milestone achievement was celebrated at the Expolaser show held in Piacenza, Italy during November, when the 'keys' of the Platino were handed to the customer, Ritmo SpA, a leading manufacturer of welding machinery for plastic components.

“Sales of the Platino have been excellent since its launch around 10 years ago,” commented Prima sales director Claudio Banchi. “Setting new standards in terms of flexibility, productivity and reliability in sheet metal processing, the machine has so far been installed in around 50 countries.”

The long-term success of the Platino has been instrumental in Prima growing its market share to more than 10 per cent of the European and North American flat cutting sector – a position underlined by the recent introduction of its Syncrono machine, the world’s fastest laser cutting system.

“For Prima Industrie the celebration of the 1000th Platino sale is above all an occasion to thank customers around the world who have chosen us as partners for their business,” concluded Mr Banchi.
