First visits to customers who want to take their finishing to a new level and drive their business growth, have already taken place.
Juan José Lozano: “We are seeing a lot of interest in KAMA’s unique finishing solutions in our territories both from print service providers and in packaging. The products complement perfectly our portfolio and we already have very good experience with these machines made in Germany.”
Jordi Giralt: “This partnership helps us to penetrate a great market with huge potential and there is no better way to do it than with a solid partner like Grafix with their deep understanding of the business and a very strong reputation of excellence.” Both partners have known and appreciated each other for well over a decade and already worked together occasionally.

Drupa 2024, 3rd June 2024 - KAMA and TRESU, the well-known, highly specialized manufacturer of flexible and customized flexo printing machines, announce their entering a partnership to establish together a game-changing solution to bring digital embellishment to the next level of efficiency.
TRESU will integrate its coating unit into the new, revolutionary KAMA Hammerhead 76/106 to add conventional coating options to all the other applications the KAMA Hammerhead offers, such as UV digital spot varnish and digital foiling. With this combined solution KAMA and TRESU are breaking the limits by greatly widening the range of materials/substrates to be embellished and by raising the bar of efficiency to a high level never seen before.
Beyond the co-development of further options for the KAMA Hammerhead, KAMA and TRESU are setting up the basis for future collaboration in many more fields, by combining the knowledge and the excellence each company brings from their own field of expertise.
Jordi Giralt, Chief Business Officer at KAMA, says: “TRESU is the right partner to achieve the levels of excellence we aim for, and partnering with them will support us to bring digital embellishment to the position we consider it must be: equal to offset or flexo production in terms of efficiency and utilization, and of course rationalizing the cost of production.”
Stephan Plenz, Chief Executive Officer at TRESU, says: “KAMA is in the right track to bring a disruptive solution to the increasing field of digital embellishment, which could benefit from the knowledge we can add. We want to walk this journey with our new partner, and we expect this is just the first step of a very productive association.”
Jordi Giralt concludes: “Drupa 2024 is the right moment and location to present to the world this new partnership, and show the first concepts of the ground-breaking KAMA Hammerhead 76/106 equipped with a TRESU Coater.”
