When Steve Morris of Gloucester-based Trinity Art Products Ltd came across Sagetech's Koolkut vertical panel saw range at the 2006 W6 show, he realised that he had found the tool he needed to dramatically cut wastage and improve profits.

Trading under the name Banana-Art, the company provides a range of art products, including the distinctive curved pictures that inspired its name.

As Steve Morris, Managing Director, explained, it was a desire to make better use of resources, cutting costs and wastage, that led him to invest in the Koolkut. "Creating the curved pictures involves removing large sections from the centres of sheets of MDF – these centre sections were essentially waste," he said. "In order to make use of them, we needed a panel saw to trim them down, so that we could create smaller pictures out of them."
