Xeikon establishes distribution agreement with Flexo Image Graphics to expand into industrial market segments in India
Xeikon, a division of Punch Graphix, announces a new partnership with Flexo Image Graphics (FIC), one of India’s leading sales and service solutions suppliers. The partnership will strengthen Xeikon’s network in the digital label printing and folding carton markets on the Indian Sub-Continent. Under the terms of the distribution agreement, FIC will support Xeikon in the label and packaging printing market, by providing sales and service support for the Xeikon 3000 family of digital presses as well as Xeikon’s finishing, workflow and substrate solutions for the label market.
“Being in the label printing market for almost a decade, we closely monitor new trends and expectations of our customers,” says Gourav Roy, Managing Director at Flexo Image Graphics. “During a recent market survey, we identified that large label converters are looking for high quality, short run applications. So we wanted to work with a partner who could deliver excellent print quality for short runs – and who scores better than competing products on productivity and cost effectiveness. The only name that came to mind was Xeikon."
Hans Gerinckx, International Channel Director for Xeikon, sees significant market opportunities in India during the coming years. “With an annual growth rate of 30 percent, the label market in India – followed closely by the folding market – is rapidly becoming a very important market for us,” says Gerinckx. “Xeikon wants to strengthen its presence in these industrial markets through the alliance with Flexo Image Graphics – an experienced and respected partner who knows the business extremely well.”
Providing world-class technology combined with strong sales and service support has been the vision of Flexo Image Graphics (FIG) since the company started in 2000. From a small, one-room office in Delhi, FIG grew rapidly, and today is proud to have operations across India. With three nodal offices located in the business hubs of Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai, FIG offers its customers a seamless sales and service experience.
The Xeikon 3000 family of digital printers is ideally suited for the production of self-adhesive labels, heat transfer printing for products such as plastic containers, and folding cartons. Combined with the broad array of substrates usable with these presses, it is the most flexible portfolio of digital label solutions in the market. The Xeikon 3000 family consists of three models: the Xeikon 3030, the base model that makes it easy for companies to enter the digital label market; the Xeikon 3050 for converters that require a slightly wider printing width; and the Xeikon 3300, a high-volume label press built for use with the most commonly used web width, but also able to handle a web width as small as 200 mm (7.9 inches).
