Tresu appoints distributor in Poland

PU Graw will provide a local source of sales and technical support relating to Tresu’s ancillary product program, such as the F10 iCon ink supply system and chamber doctor blade systems.

Tresu recently launched lightweight carbon fiber chambered doctor blades offering improved chemical resistance, optimized flow and easy handling in all flexo printing situations.

Established in 1994 and comprising 13 staff, PU Graw already represents a number of graphics industry technology providers including Cheshire, Mount Engraving Tools, Swedev, Recyl, Flexo-Tech and Lohmann. 

Marek Wielemborek (pictured, left), owner of PU Graw, said: ‘The Polish packaging and label converting market has grown significantly in recent years. The challenge faced by players in this market now is to match higher quality expectations from brand owner customers in Europe, and to offer greater service flexibility. Maximizing uptime is vital in order to remain competitive.

‘The only way to achieve this is to be in control of your processes, so you can deliver the predictable, uniform quality expected by the market. Tresu‘s ancillary systems, with their proven capability to automatically control the ink and coating circulation, perfectly answer this need. With our expanded service team, we will be able to ensure Tresu customers have the necessary long-term support, and this gain full benefit from their investment.’

Steen Rasmussen (pictured, right), area sales manager at Tresu Ancillary, added: ‘High level of service is integral to our offering. But to make that possible in a flexo market as large as Poland's we need to collaborate with local partners who have the technical experience, a strong commitment to excellence and the ability to communicate in the native language.’

‘PU Graw is a well-recognised name and a strong reputation in Poland thanks to its track record in supporting many of the country's leading package printing suppliers. They have shown their ability to support on a large scale, and have been willing to invest in technical support team since the appointment, in order to meet our service goals.’
