The Col-Tec team is made up of twenty specialists skilled in every area of engineering, including design, purchasing, machining, fabrication, electrical and mechanical fitting, and servicing.
Founded in 2000, Col-Tec has rapidly established itself as a leading force in the collating machine industry. Here’s a timeline of our key milestones:
Watch this space to see what else we accomplish in the 2020s and beyond!
Our mission is to pioneer new innovations in collating technology, a goal we first achieved by manufacturing the UK's first horizontal suction feed collator.
Our machines aren't just designed to handle stock material and sheet sizes beyond the reach of other collators; they also extend far beyond the traditional printing industry. From plastic credit cards to cellophane wraps for flower bouquets, their applications are nearly limitless.
We're passionate about British engineering and dedicated to producing world-class machines. Our attention to detail, from the materials we use to the way we secure every component, guarantees our products are built to last. This commitment to quality and precision has made us a global leader, with 75% of our sales overseas.
Our customers are the heart of our business, which is why we’re committed to providing exceptional service at every turn. We respond promptly to queries, keep you informed at every stage, and offer expert advice and recommendations whenever needed. Our goal is to leave you 100% satisfied with both the final outcome and your experience with us.
At Col-Tec, we believe in open communication and a streamlined process. Here’s what you can expect when choosing us for your new collator machine:
After you get in touch and tell us what you’re looking for, we’ll provide a detailed order summary to confirm your specifications and expectations.
Watch your machine come to life! We'll give you access to live video feeds of the manufacturing process, so you can see first-hand whether our lead time estimate is on track.
Once we’ve finished manufacturing your collator, you can either inspect it in person or send us material samples to test. We'll run these samples through the machine and provide a video link for your approval.
Approximately a week before installation, our lead engineer will get in touch with you to discuss logistics. We'll coordinate forklift arrangements, verify electrical requirements, and provide recommendations for local accommodations as needed.
Our installations typically involve at least two Col-Tec engineers and last 4-5 days. This extended time frame allows us to install your machine to a high standard, make sure it’s performing exactly as it should, and provide all personnel with comprehensive training on its use.
Post-installation, we can set you up with a cost-effective maintenance contract and regular reminders for annual servicing.
Our support doesn’t end there. Our support team guarantees a response within 24 hours if you have any queries, and we'll address urgent issues right away. We'll also keep you updated on industry trends with twice-yearly newsletters (if you're interested). And as technology advances, we'll be ready to discuss how to upgrade your machine to take advantage of the latest innovations.
