Pavilion scoops Electrolux PM deal

Pavilion Print Management has won a three-year contract from Electrolux.

It bought two Toshiba e-studio black-and-white digital printers, an 850 and a 650, for the Electrolux factory in Spennymore near Durham.

Two staff from Leeds-based Pavilion will print instruction manuals for 300,000 cookers made a year by Electrolux, which used to handle print in-house on an ageing Xerox DocuTech.

When you reach the point of reinvestment, you ask if the service is core to what you do, said Pavilion managing director David Platt. Electrolux chose to outsource. It runs a tight manufacturing system and doesnt want stock. It needs responsive print on demand.

List price for the machines, which came with booklet makers, totalled around 45,000.

Other Pavilion clients include Norfolk Constabulary and Satchwell Control Systems in Slough.
