Testimony
“This system gives us complete satisfaction. The error rate is zero; no reel is damaged during handling (previously 200 to 400 per month!) and the system is reliable, safe and quiet. In addition, the start-up assistance was remarkable. Overall, out of the four manufacturers we have consulted, we have chosen the most efficient solution and we do not regret it! “- La Papeterie newspaper.
