Cefla provides ‘first look’ at new technologies

More than 100 visitors attended Cefla North America’s spring I-learn event at its 15,000-sq.-ft. showroom in Charlotte, N.C.

“We opened the event up to not only flooring manufacturers in town for the NWFA conference but to everyone from kitchen cabinet manufacturers to furniture manufacturers,” Cefla North America sales manager Brent Warren said in a statement. “People came because they were looking to make investments, upgrade equipment, and enhance automation. We held educational seminars on the newest technologies and held demonstrations in our lab of virtually all the machines we have, including our new technologies.”

The event featured new technologies for digital printing and Inert Coating Technology, including options for flooring, components, solid wood and panels.

Attendees got a first look at Cefla’s Fusion and Inert Coating technology by Sorbini, an entry for IWF’s Challenger's Award, and the Pixart Plot large format printer.

Attends also learned about Cefla’s new partnership with Henkel Corp., developer of Technomelt CHS UV fusion coating technology. “We were showing high-gloss products produced on the Inert line during I-learn,” Warren says. “That was very exciting for many of the companies who saw how much time and space the new product can save, as well as how it reduces operational and material costs.”
