Gerber Technology, Tolland, Conn., USA, is debuting a new tool kit designed specifically for packaging and finishing applications. This is in conjunction with the company’s acquisition of MCT Digital announced on Oct. 1, 2018. The combination of these companies unites the engineering expertise and innovation of two leading players in the sign and graphics and packaging industries.

These tools are designed to address corrugated triple and folded carton, foam, and triple wall packaging materials. 

"This new tool kit expands the versatility of the Gerber MCT Cutter," said Scott Schinlever, president and CEO, Automation Solutions for Gerber Technology. "It’s an ideal solution for our packaging customers, especially those with short run or sample run production needs." 

 

MCT is an integrated solutions provider of hardware and software finishing solutions for the sign and graphics and packaging markets. Located in New Berlin, Wis., MCT and its leadership team have been innovating in the sign and graphics and packaging segments for more than 30 years. In 1999, through his company Mikkelsen Graphic Engineering (MGE), Steen Mikkelsen launched i-cut vision for digital die cutting and in 2002, launched a version for print-to-cut workflows. In 2007, MGE was sold to Danaher’s Esko division. In 2011, Steen’s son Nik founded MCT and launched the CutGuru website for parts and consumables for finishing products. In 2016, they launched their first cutting system and launched their current high-performance cutting system along with their TigerVision print-to-cut software, creating a seamless customer experience.

MCT sells directly in the U.S. and Canada, and through distribution in Latin America, Australia, India, New Zealand, Italy, and Scandinavia. MCT also owns and operates CutGuru.com – supporting 1,200+ customers worldwide with application know-how and cutting blades, router bits, and cutting mats/conveyors.
