The Gilman Brothers Company, one of North America’s premier manufacturers of foamboard products for signage, display and graphics, has purchased a Zund G3-2500 Cutter as part of the company’s latest manufacturing and technological improvements at their Gilman, Connecticut headquarters.
The G3 Zund digital cutter positions The Gilman Brothers Company for the development of several upcoming product launches and will add greater opportunity for product testing and prototyping of new materials and technologies. Printers and end-users will benefit from a faster turnaround of design concepts provided through the company’s in-house “imagine-to-reality” nontraditional global market support.
"Having a Zund at our HQ allows for immediate response to customer needs such as prototyping, design, performance testing and unlimited flexibility working with designers around the globe," says Bill VanHorn, Director of Sales at Gilman Brothers.
Gilman Brothers chose the Zund G3-2500 digital cutter for its versatility and superior cutting performance. Gilman Brothers INFINITY® Styrene Faced Foamboard high end foam cuts cleaner and 30% faster on digital cutting equipment like Zund®. The company features detailed cutting guidelines for its full product line on their website for all popular cutting equipment brands.
Gilman Brothers enjoys a longstanding partnership with Zund America, Inc. The two companies have teamed up on multiple occasions to demonstrate the digital cutter’s superior performance on Gilman Brothers INFINITY® Styrene Faced Foamboard. Plans are in place for an on-site event to be held at Zund’s Irvine, California this coming June.
The Zund G3-2500 Cutter is a high-performance, digital flatbed cutter designed for industrial use and built for high-volume, 24/7 production. For more information on Zund digital cutters, visit https://www.zund.com/en.

The Gilman Brothers Launches New Resilient® Soft Touch Graphics Board
February 15, 2022
A velvety soft, fine cell foam board that recovers quickly after compression.
The Gilman Brothers Company is proud to announce the launch of Resilient® Soft Touch Graphics Board. Resilient® is a velvety soft, fine cell foam board that recovers quickly after compression and features a velvety true-black edge that is visually pleasing and ready to display without any further treatment.
The Resilient® product line is available with a consistent white surface that provides a smooth, glass-like surface for direct digital printing applications and with one-side pressure-sensitive adhesive for mounting applications. Resilient® is made with “spring-back technology” which enables it to recover quickly after compression and dent-resistant corners that eliminate any damage in shipping.
“We love Resilient®!” says Ari Luna, Business Development Manager, alluding to the February 14 product launch that kicked off with a new promotional video and detailed commercial packet, along with an exciting new application sample kit. “Feedback from current and new targeted clients is beyond exciting. This product is a disrupter in multiple markets, and I look forward to driving this platform.”
Gilman Brothers business development team has begun scheduling on-site consultations and video presentations to introduce Resilient® to multiple markets. “This is the fastest-growing segment in our company history,” says Bill VanHorn, Director of Sales. “We are humbled to be well-positioned for new pathways to growth.”
The launch of Resilient® is strategically timed with The Gilman Brothers Company’s recent purchase of a Zund G3-2500 digital cutter. With this purchase, the company will be able to provide value-added services to customers via prototypes, design, and cut files.
The Resilient® product page on Gilman Brothers website features application photos, cutting guidelines, and more. Patent-pending Resilient® is made in the USA and is available in gauges ranging from 1/2", 3/4” and 1" thicknesses and is currently available in 51” x 86” sheets. Resilient® cuts easily and cleanly with most commercial razor knives. Cutting guidelines can be downloaded from the Gilman Brothers website.
