PaperNuts Launches Design Partnership With Spark Innovations For New Retail Unit Development
ST. Catharines, ON-(Marketwired) - Axiom Corp. (
Tyler Pearson, CEO of PaperNuts, commented, "Joining forces with Spark Innovations as a design and engineering partner brings a tremendous amount of value and in house capability to our organization that should allow us to drastically increase our speed to market for the new retail scale PaperNuts machines that we have planned for release later this year."
The retail ready PaperNuts Converter machines will be smaller, quieter, and lighter than current industrial scale machines and will enable select retail channel partners to manufacturer PaperNuts on-site on-demand at the retail store level. This will allow consumers direct access to PaperNuts products at their favorite local shipping and supply stores while freeing valuable shelf space at retailers that can be reallocated to selling other products.
Bob Dickie, President of Spark Innovations, commented, "We look forward to working with the Axiom PaperNuts team and utilizing our specialized design and engineering talents to build their concepts for a smaller, quieter, and lighter retail version of their technology into a fully functional prototype ready for mass production."
Pearson concluded, "Based on our current rapid design and production schedule, we expect to have the new retail PaperNuts machines installed in stores during the fourth quarter of this year."
