An SOS/Liyu Partnership Built on Service and Support
“We’re delighted to help grow the Liyu brand in the UK,” said Omran Anwar, Joint MD at SOS. “It’s also about offering a growth path for our customers on their journey into the large format market. We already have a high profile as a supplier of Roland print/cut machines and Epson proofers, and we feel the addition of the bigger Liyu machinery completes our large format offering and offers customers a truly compelling choice.”
Liyu England MD Eddie Tucker: “We feel we have found the perfect partners in SOS and look forward to a long and productive relationship.”
The new SOS/Liyu collaboration has got off to a flying start with sales including the the flagship Signature UV hybrid printer, featuring embedded neon inks, to a UK customer. Details will be available when the installation is complete.
