Essex-based Rona Machines, a supplier of new and second-hand engraving machines and equipment, has recently added the Roland DG brand of engraving machines to its range.

Rona Machines owner Graham Field (pictured) said: “Roland are a premium brand and offer an excellent and reliable range of machines that are competitively priced. The manufacturer’s range of machines offer the latest technology in both software and hardware and the manufacturer constantly innovates and evolves its products to help increase productivity and quality for its customers.”

He added: “If you buy a Roland machine, you are buying reliability and peace of mind. I am delighted to have taken on this brand and look forward to a long fruitful relationship with Roland.”

Rona Machines was formed in 1982 and is a family owned business, operating from a purpose-designed building based in Nazeing. Mr Field has nearly 40 years’ experience in supplying new and second-hand engraving machines which are refurbished to an exceptionally high standard.

Rona Machines supplies both computerised and manual engraving machines, has a large stock of machines available to choose from and offers a complete technical back-up for all machines sold along with advice on how to maximise productivity.

The company also offers an upgrade or repair service to customers for older machines at a fraction of the cost of replacement and carries a large stock of parts for all brands and most models of machines.

One Roland DG machine that Rona will be stocking is the popular DE-3 desktop engraver, which is the result of over 30 years of innovation in engraving technology, delivering impressive versatility and fast, user-friendly automated production (see video below).

With laser pointing technology, USB connectivity, automatic depth regulation and other intelligent features, the DE-3 is considered to be an ideal turnkey engraving solution for producing precise text and graphics onto a huge range of materials and objects.

There is currently a special offer available until the end of March available from Rona on the purchase of the DE-3. A STIKA SV-15 machine worth nearly £700 will be offered free which can produce stickers, decals, labels, iron-ons and much more. Creating custom vinyl graphics has never been more affordable.



Roland DG’s range of reliable and robust engraving machines are ideal to meet the demanding and diverse needs of an industrial environment. From asset tags and rating plates to control panels, valve tags and printed circuit boards to part marking for track and trace; bringing engraving in-house saves money and reduces lead times.

Mr Field added: “The benefit of these precision machines is the ability to engrave in-house with ease, no longer needing to sub=contract the engraving, quickly saving time and money.”

The addition of a range of new machines opens up untapped markets for Rona Machines as many businesses will only buy new.

Mr Field concluded: “With the Roland DG range of machines, we can now supply businesses that before were not open to us, providing us with a fantastic opportunity to not only expand our customer base, but to promote the range into new areas. We are very much looking forward to getting started while we continue to offer the reliable service that has been the hallmark of Rona Machines for more than 40 years.”
