Hans Max, president of MBO America, and Joe Vijuk, president of Vijuk Equipment, have announced their new agreement regarding Bograma punching machines. Vijuk Equipment will sell the Bograma punch for all miniature and pharmaceutical folding applications while MBO America will sell the Bograma punch for all other folding applications, including commercial folding and commercial direct mail folding. Further, Vijuk will continue to sell H+H folders on an exclusive basis for all miniature and pharmaceutical folding applications; MBO America will sell all other H+H specialty folders such as the H+H direct mail folding systems. MBO, of course, sells its own commercial folders. Max states that MBO wishes to remain in its area of expertise, striving to be the world leader in all commercial folding applications and, now, in direct mailing applications as well, whereas Vijuk specializes in miniature and pharmaceutical folding applications (inserts, outserts and booklets). Vijuk adds that this is a perfect arrangement for two companies that have specialized in their respective folding markets over the past 30 years or so. "We are honored to be associated with such a high-quality company like MBO; they are the industry leader for all commercial and direct mail folding."
