EFI and CMYUK have been collaborating to enhance their jointly developed demonstration and training center in Shrewsbury, UK.
CMYUK’s Shrewsbury facility is the largest independent EFI demonstration center in Europe and the refinements will further increase the portfolio of EFI printers on display.
The center is set to reopen on Monday, June 15 and its size will enable CMYUK to implement safe, extremely comfortable and viable social distancing arrangements.
Under its newly devised COVID-19 Safety Etiquette, CMYUK will operate a single company experience, ensuring that only customers from the same business are visiting at any one time. CMYUK will also provide all necessary hygiene and protection requirements for effective housekeeping.
Customers will also have the opportunity to learn about Consumable Supported Asset Finance (CSAF). CMYUK’s revolutionary purchasing solution, which links a customer’s consumables spend with significant savings on the price of newly purchased equipment.
By customers switching some, or all of their roll-to-roll consumable spend to CMYUK; the company contributes a monthly amount directly into the finance agreement, reducing monthly payments.
Along with the extended Government Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), which now includes new support for asset finance, there has never been a better time to invest.
The scheme extension is designed to remove all barriers to rapidly stimulate business rejuvenation.
Initial equipment deposits have been scrapped and the first year of repayments are interest-free, with a total possible interest reduction by up to 75% depending on finance terms.
“The upgrades to our newly reopened demonstration and training facility will really do justice to the EFI brand ensuring that UK customers have everything they need without having to leave the country," said Robin East, CMYUK group director. "Never has there been a better time to invest in capital equipment. Our CSAF finance package in conjunction with the new government support for asset finance is a win/win for all print service providers. We are reopening our doors but under strict COVID-19 guidelines that will ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our customers and staff.”
