Xeikon, a division of Punch Graphix, has strengthened its China operation by partnering with one of the region’s leading distributors, United Printing Equipment Corp. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, United Printing will support Xeikon in the labels and packaging printing market, providing sales and service support for the Xeikon 3000 and Xeikon 3300 digital presses, as well as the company’s finishing, workflow and substrate solutions for labels market.
Filip Weymans, Business Development Manager Labels & Packaging at Punch Graphix, comments: “At drupa 2008, we made a clear commitment to the labeling market with the introduction of the award-winning Xeikon 3000 and 3300 digital presses. The appointment of a distributor dedicated to the labeling sector underlines this commitment. It will ensure Chinese printers have access to leading digital labels and packaging printing technology and receive outstanding customer support.”
Shangai-based United Printing Equipments (www.flexochina.com) is one of the most successful suppliers of flexo printing equipment in China, with more than 10 years of experience. The excellent service that United Printing offers their customers in the greater China region, is one of the main reasons Xeikon decided to partner up with the company. "United Printing has a large team of dedicated print professionals across China, which instantly gives us a huge reach across this key territory,” explains Hans Gerinckx, Sales Director APAC, AME and SA at Punch Graphix. “United Printing shares our ethos of directly addressing customers’ business needs, and introducing them to technologies that help them work more efficiently and profitably.”
Benny Shaw, President of United Printing, comments on the partnership: “With the quality of digital printing technology advancing rapidly, more and more Chinese printers are looking at incorporating digital solutions into their infrastructures. The Xeikon digital presses are ideal for our region. They are very easy to use and integrate with their existing set-ups, which means that traditional printers will immediately enjoy the many commercial benefits they deliver and see a fast return on their investment.”
The distribution agreement was signed during Labelexpo China, held from December 1 till 4, where the companies jointly presented the Xeikon solutions for the label market.
