Customer Testimonial – Rodeco, Sweden
At Rodeco, we design and build imaginative play environments for children across the globe – from shopping malls and public spaces to airports and cruise terminals. With more than four decades of experience and thousands of successful installations worldwide, safety, durability and sustainability are at the core of everything we deliver.
When one of our international clients required PFAS-free printing on PVC-free media for a major new playground project, we needed a printing solution that met the same strict standards we apply to our own constructions. As a company committed to producing safe, non-toxic environments for children, we cannot compromise on the materials or technologies we use.
After a conversation with Spandex Sweden one of our suppliers it was clear that the Mutoh HydrAton 1642 equipped with AquaFuze™ water-based UV ink was the best and only solution. HydrAton delivers the combination of print quality, durability and environmental responsibility our projects demand. The AquaFuze™ ink technology is completely free, according to our own tests done on the AquaFuze™ inks, from PFAS and offers extremely low emissions and virtually no odour – ideal for sensitive indoor environments where children interact directly with the printed surfaces.
For us as designers and manufacturers, HydrAton provides vibrant, detailed graphics that elevate our themed play areas. For our customers – including the aviation industry like at airports or shipping, cruise terminals with strict compliance requirements – it means fully traceable, PFAS-free, PVC-free-safe graphics that support their sustainability goals.
Projects at major international locations often require exactly this level of environmental assurance. For example, for our new project, playgrounds at Miami International Airport, or indoor play zones in cruise terminals, typically operate under strict restrictions on chemicals and materials. Mutoh HydrAton enables us to meet those requirements confidently.
In short: Mutoh HydrAton helps us create safe, engaging, future-proof playgrounds without compromising on visual impact or sustainability. For any organisation aiming to eliminate PFAS from their print workflow while maintaining high-end graphic quality on PVC-free media, the Mutoh HydrAton in combination with the AquaFuze™ inks is a solution we can strongly recommend.
“For Rodeco, this investment is not just about print quality – it’s about staying true to our responsibility to create safe environments for children,” says Daniel Lind, CEO of Rodeco
