  • Finally, a podcast related to my industry!

    I like to listen to podcasts and I really wasn’t looking for one in my industry, but I found out about this one via an email I got from Wensco. I’ve only listened to a couple episodes, but I plan to keep listening. We are in the sign industry, but still pretty green, so I’m anxious to learn more!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Precision Cutting with Stuart Fox of Kongsberg
Q: How do you balance between speed and material capability when advising customers?
The approach is to match the machine to the customer's application, explaining that ultra-fast speed is great for lightweight materials, but heavy-duty work requires more weight, horsepower, and durability; often a hybrid or dedicated solution is recommended based on use-case.
Precision Cutting with Stuart Fox of Kongsberg
Q: What was the idea behind acquiring Multicam and adding it to your line?
Acquiring Multicam expanded the portfolio from primarily lightweight graphics to include heavy-duty materials and high-volume production, allowing cross-selling between equipment families and serving customers who need more capable routers for signs, displays, and other applications.
Live Q&A 3: Big Announcements
Q: What should an aspiring sign shop owner start with?
Start with a print-cut-laminate setup, consider an entry-level 60-inch Epson printer in combination with a GrafTech cutter, and plan for scalable upgrades including a roll-to-roll or flatbed path as the business grows.
Live Q&A 3: Big Announcements
Q: Why Minnesota?
It fell into their lap due to opportunities that arose, and it helps them gain Midwest control.
Live Q&A 3: Big Announcements
Q: What are the main changes at Wensco in the last six months?
They opened a Minneapolis branch, expanded delivery to more Midwest regions, added new vendors (HP and Summa), and updated inventory and stocking practices to meet rising demand.
