Roland

Ever since the creation of the company by Ikutaro Kakehashi in April 1972, the name of Roland has been closely associated with the development of innovative music technologies. And while it is true that the company (based in Hamamatsu - like the Suzuki Corporation) is famous throughout the world for the different electronic music instruments it has developed throughout the decades, Roland is also a household name in the world of printing and a worldwide leader in the sign, graphic arts, fine art, photography, engraving and 3D modelling industries.

Founded in 1981, as an affiliate of Roland Music, the Roland DG Corporation has evolved into the world’s number one provider of wide-format inkjet printers and a $350 million organisation with offices worldwide. Given Team Suzuki Alstare’s constant and enormous production of stickers (during the 2005 season, more than 3,000 metres of stickers were printed!), cutting-edge technology is required and Roland products are just what Team Alstare need.
