Introduction of a
4 colour
manual rotary carousel machine, the major "innovations" of which were not
incorporated by other competitors until... 20 years later.
TAS developed special
purpose machines that enabled screen printing on - tapered containers, styrene boxes, metal tubes, light fittings, and spun
metal products. This was unheard of at the time.
TAS began exporting to the US,
and today 60% of TAS Screen Printing Machines go to the US, and the percentage
is climbing rapidly. TAS also exports around the globe and has Accredited
Resellers and Service Providers in all major countries including - Sweden,
Germany, South Africa, England, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines,
and New Zealand. In the United States, TAS America (fully owned by TAS
Australia), operates from facilities in California. (TAS America website:www.tasamerica.com)
The "innovations" during this
period are too numerous to list in this brief background, however TAS "stunned"
the industry when in 1997 it became the first manufacturer to provide a - 4 year guarantee. (and today, it is still the only manufacturer to do
so. Our guarantee is more than double that of any other
manufacturer)
TAS introduced the industry's first 16 colour automatic screen printing machine with smart electric
heads featuring digital squeegee speed display for quick set ups.
TAS releases the industry's first automatic screen printing machine that successfully prints on
transfers, as well as garments. |
