Gerber Innovations Appoints The Haire Group as Distributor for North America
Will sell new GERBERcutter GT3000 System for Corrugated Packaging Applications
TOLLAND, Conn., USA, March 8, 2013 – Gerber Innovations, a leading manufacturer of
computer-controlled cutting systems for the packaging and graphics industries, has appointed The
Haire Group of Merrillville, Indiana as a distributor of the company’s GERBERcutter ® GT3000
system to corrugated packaging companies across North America.
Steve Gore, vice president and general manager of Gerber’s Industrial Business, which includes
Gerber Innovations, said, “By joining forces with The Haire Group, we can better serve our
customers by providing more direct attention to their needs. The Haire Group has more than three
decades of experience working with corrugated packaging manufacturers helping them automate
their operations to improve productivity and profitability.”
Ken Andersen, new machinery product manager for The Haire Group, said, “We are proud to be
able to complement our existing product portfolio with a cutting system designed and
manufactured by Gerber, a company that revolutionized computer-controlled cutting more than 40
years ago. Our customers have come to rely on us to provide industry best practices that enable
them to optimize their production with the use of automation systems. It’s our deep knowledge of
corrugated packaging production that we enjoy sharing with our customers.”
Gore added, “The GERBERcutter GT3000 is ideal for those making samples and doing short
production runs. Because it is affordably priced, highly productive, eliminates the need for
expensive dies and is engineered for ease of use, it delivers an extremely fast return on
investment.” The GT3000 cuts and creases all corrugated materials ranging in thickness from
micro-flute to double wall. It is the newest addition to Gerber Innovations’ existing family of cutters
that drill, rout and cut a wide variety of materials.
