Vivid Technologies Ltd

Since 1986, Vivids aim has always been the same, to empower our customers to produce enviable finishes and deliver bespoke projects at a fraction of the price of outsourcing. We achieve this by thinking outside the box to create cutting-edge technology of the highest quality. Our highly motivated team works closely with our customers and partners, ensuring that everything we develop not only advances their current capabilities but also makes their lives easier and their businesses better. The VeloBlade digital die-cutting systems are built for purpose and can be adapted to any required size, ensuring they meet the specific needs of each customer. Our systems operate seamlessly with substrates such as carbon fibre, structural foam, honeycomb, prepreg, aramid fibre, and glass fibre. This opens up a vast array of markets for your business to operate in and enables you to create an endless variety of products with exciting materials. Whether you are in the automotive, aerospace, or consumer goods industry, the VeloBlade systems offer the flexibility and precision needed to produce high-quality results consistently. With in-house research and development, our advances include the 2024 launch of Veloton, a patented interchangeable system that allows you to turbocharge your cutting speed by 10 times with multiple aligned cutting heads, available in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. This advancement extends the digital cutting capabilities of both roll and cut sheet, making it even more efficient and productive for businesses of all scales. Another fantastic feature of the VeloBlade is its automatic cut depth setting. This drastically increases setup and operating speed, making the operators job easier and more efficient. Efficiency was a key consideration in the design of this system. Contributing to an efficient workplace is the rotating bed, which enables both roll and sheet-fed production. All VeloBlade systems include built-in, user-friendly ZipCore Software, which is feature-rich and gives you complete control over your system, down to specifying 0.01mm cut depth alterations. You can rest assured that your VeloBlade Nexus will operate seamlessly. Let us guide you in finding the right solution for you and your business.

Wessex Resins and Adhesives

Wessex Resins and Adhesives has been developing and manufacturing high-quality epoxy products since 1981. During this time we have worked with a large range of organisations that demand specialist formulations, including the Ministry of Defence, London Underground, Bombardier and BAE Systems.

Wessex Resins and Adhesives products are trusted for a wide variety of specialist applications. These range from adhesives that can be mixed, applied and cured underwater, to our flooring adhesives, which include a specialist epoxy that has low smoke and low toxicity characteristics in the event of a fire.

In addition, we provide the renowned WEST SYSTEM® and PRO-SET® and Entropy Resins® products, through our Wessex Resins division. These durable, high-quality epoxies are the adhesives of choice for naval engineers, boat manufacturers, chandlers and private boat owners throughout the world.

Thanks to our expert knowledge and skills, we are also one of the very few companies able to develop bespoke epoxies for niche and unique applications. Our chemists and technical team will work with organisations to formulate customised solutions that meet individual requirements.

Other organisations will partner with us as part of a ‘toll manufacturing’ arrangement, in which their own capabilities are augmented by our specialist equipment and over three decades of expertise in the adhesive and coating field.

We partner with many channel suppliers, who rely on the quality of our trusted products to meet the needs of their own customers.

In all cases, we go the extra mile to share our expertise and first-class technical support services. Wherever possible, this extends beyond our partners to the end-user.
