C&P MICROSYSTEMS

In 1977, Graphics West, a printing equipment sales and service company, formed Graphics West Micro Systems (GWMS) to manufacture and sell paper cutter control systems. The first unit was installed in 1978. Development continued with a series of models and in 1980 the 3000 model was introduced... In 1983 engineering was brought in-house. Thus was born the microcut II with operator prompting. Our own engineering staff has designed all models and systems since that time. Development continued with the introduction in 1984 of microfacts the first integrated real time data collection system for paper cutters, the microcut JR in 1985 and the microcut III 1986... In 1989, Komori purchased Graphics West and GWMS became a fully independent company. Soon thereafter, the company moved to larger facilities and changed its name first to Golden Gate Microsystems and later to Graphic Machinery & Systems to better reflect the company's range of products.
