Tri-Creaser aims to go global

The founder of Tech-ni-Fold, Graham Harris, plans to establish a global distribution network for his award-winning Tri-Creaser device, after receiving massive interest at Ipex.

Harris said: We were absolutely inundated with people on our stand. It couldnt have been busier if we had been giving away hotdogs.

He said around 40 companies had approached Tech-ni-Fold and asked for exclusive distribution rights, while 30 exhibitors had asked for a Tech-ni-Fold device to be attached to their equipment.

The company has appointed an Australian distributor, Birk & Blyme, and is currently involved in negotiations with companies in Canada and Japan.

The company, which secured the UK patent for the Tri-Creaser last month, unveiled its Cova-Creaser creasing device for stitching lines at the show.
