In the dead of night, shrouded in darkness, a mysterious delivery arrives. The machine is placed straight into a gigantic, specially designed metal cage so that nobody knows what the cargo looks like or where it has come from. The consignment is delivered in unmarked vehicles and is shielded from view until it is time to enter the steel cage. This sounds like a tale of intrigue, secrecy and espionage straight out of James Bond but is actually a routine machinery delivery for this British print finishing specialist.
Welcome to the world of Rollem. A company that can truly claim "Many of our systems are so good that nobody knows about them." The Sheffield company builds print finishing systems that are so advanced and innovative that some clients go to extreme lengths to prevent their competitors from finding out about them. Our clients know that Rollem machines give them an amazing advantage over their rivals and so will do anything to protect the identity of their machinery.
Consequently, Rollem are not permitted to reveal the names and locations of many of their clients, they can not even reveal what continent their machines are being shipped to. Rollem engineers working on the machines even have to change out of their uniforms to avoid the risk of somebody spotting the Rollem logo.
The astonishing lengths that companies go to, to protect their new machinery shows the intense competition within the print-finishing world. Rollem design and build specialist, customised systems for some of the world’s biggest firms. Their machines are so unique that these companies demand absolute secrecy so that they can maintain the ‘edge’ over their competitors.
So, while there may be a Rollem machine at the heart of every successful print finishing company, you won’t have heard about it from them.
