In 1983, Spandex introduced the the Gerber Graphix 3 to Britain changing the world of sign making. It was the world’s first ever vinyl cutting computer, replacing
paintbrushes and kick-starting the sign making revolution. It was more than just a machine; it was a catalyst for change,
transforming the way signs were designed and produced. In the main entrance was the Graphix 4B, an updated version of the trailblazing piece of tehcnology.

We had a fantastic turnout and the energy across both days was exactly
what we’d hoped for. It was great to showcase such a wide range of products and technologies all in one space, and to have meaningful, one-on-one conversations with customers about what they’re working on and how we can support them. The feedback from attendees has been hugely positive, and we’re already looking
forward to the next stop on the summit tour – Leeds — Ethan Tanner, UK marketing manager, Spandex UK
