In addition to its core business of flags and banners the product portfolio also includes small items such as pennants and insignias, embroidered flags for troops and clubs as well as a wide range of accessories such as masts. As the products of Fahnen-Gärtner often have to withstand demanding conditions, high quality is obviously a top priority.
Gerald Heerdegen (CEO of Fahnen-Gärtner GmbH):
'What convinced us was the precision achieved through contact-less and distortion free cutting. The flag material can be processed quickly straight from the roll with the eurolaser system. In particular the fused cut edges created by the thermal laser process are a great advantage for us. It means there is no lint or fraying, so time-consuming reworking is no longer necessary.
We can cut large-format textiles with perfect accuracy thanks to the enormous processing area of the system and this gives us a unique selling point, because there is no other textile laser cutting system of this size in use anywhere else in Austria.'
