Creo plates will be produced through a combination of wholly-owned and outsourced manufacturing. The Pietermaritzburg facility has a modern, recently installed, plate manufacturing line that is now already producing the Creo PTP plate.

For many years, Creo has qualified suitable plates from a variety of plate suppliers and, in some cases, has bundled those plates with equipment and software to provide a complete packaged solution. In the last two years Creo has increased the number of CTP systems sold bundled with plates and now sells approximately 20 percent of new systems in North America as part of a bundle.
