Operating from Bradford, West Yorkshire in the UK, the company has built an enviable international reputation for reliability and performance due to its commitment to technical innovation, constant product development, and proactive response to changing market and customer needs. With increasing demand for shorter run lengths combined with faster turnaround times, printer converters are under pressure to be agile and flexible, as well as deliver on efficiency and quality. BGM has therefore developed a range of slitter rewinder solutions to meet evolving market needs.
