Sentez Group CEO Süleyman Öncel said: “We weren’t actually planning any major investments in 2018, but the pay-per-use model being offered by Heidelberg will enable us to grow faster and significantly boost our productivity in a fiercely competitive market.
“The digitised solution from Heidelberg and the comprehensive consumables package providing peace of mind are also further increasing our level of automation.”
