Who we are and what we do

IBIS was formed in May 1999 by senior managers and engineers previously with Heidelberg Finishing Systems (formerly Harris graphics and AM graphics).

Our team has over 200 man-years experience in book finishing equipment design and applications. We are dedicated to providing our resellers and end-user customers around the world with innovative, high performance, heavy duty and reliable book finishing systems with unique features and user advantages.

Our focus has been on finishing solutions for high-speed CF (web) digital printers, both off-line and in-line. Uniquely, we offer the ability to produce both glued books and wire stitched (stapled) books from the same machine.

We also have extensive experience of integrating different equipment into complete customised systems. In this way we provide a one-stop service for book finishing solutions.

All our products are backed by first-class customer training and support.We are based approximately 30 miles (48 km) from central London and close to Heathrow international airport.
