Europlacer has celebrated its 20TH anniversary. In 1991, Blakell Europlacer purchased the business of Eurosoft Robotique (created in 1978) and Europlacer Industries was born. Last year we already had an important milestone with the celebration of our one hundredth iineo machine sold over a short period of time and in Q4 2011 we reached our 20th year as Europlacer Industries.

The last twenty years have had many good times, especially the late nineties, and some difficult years too but we now find ourselves in the strongest position since those years of the late nineties.

2010 was our best year for 10 years but our Group Managing Director, Derek Gaston, is pleased to say that this year has been even stronger, both for Europlacer and for Speedprint. Possibly it could have been even better but the UK and France have been quieter than we had forecast, although the prospects for both the UK and France look very strong for 2012. However, in 2011 we have had our best year ever in the United States; we have now added a National Sales Manager there to help build on this momentum and we continue to make plans to push forward in every market.

We are confident about continuing to increase our market share. As we continue to improve our quality, our credibility and introduce new innovations then we have the expectation to push forward another level. That is our goal for 2012 and 2013.

This celebration was also the opportunity to thank 2 employees for their hard work and loyalty to Europlacer after 20 year of service and 9 employees who have reached 30 years and more of long service.
