Kudu from swissQprint makes a monster impact for Birmingham signage & print specialist

Birmingham-based signage and print specialist Hollywood Monster has bought a six-colour Kudu with white, varnish, neon yellow and neon pink across 10 channels of print heads. Installed last month (March), Hollywood Monster’s machine portfolio also has roll-to-roll and dual roll options for added functionality on boards and roll-based media. The new Kudu in the company’s production facility combines huge output alongside top quality print production. The 3.2×2m machine can operate at a maximum speed of 341sqm/hr, while being incredibly energy efficient. It consumes an average of 2.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity, the same as a normal kettle.

This combination of speed, versatility and sustainability made the Kudu a perfect fit for Hollywood Monster’s requirements. The company can print up to 125,000 sqm of material per day, serving customers in property, construction, retail, exhibitions, events and sport. Customers include McDonald’s, Westfield, Birmingham City Football Club and Adidas, as well as its partnership with the NEC Group. Quality and performance are fundamental to meeting their needs. Hollywood Monster has sourced alternatives to PVC for 80 percent of its product range and is targeting 100 percent this year. In 2023, the company unveiled its recycling scheme with Reconomy and has reduced its landfill contribution by 80 percent.
