Screen names Jet as agent in Indonesia

PT Jet Technologies Indonesia, the narrow web and label specialist supplier headquartered in Australia and active throughout Oceania and South-east Asia, has been appointed to distribute Screen’s new Truepress Jet L350UV digital label press throughout Indonesia.

The Indonesian distribution contract will see PT Jet Technologies Indonesia promote the press to the Indonesian label and packaging industries.

PT Jet Technologies Indonesia is already supplying the company’s range of narrow web products including inks, coatings, laminates, screen and rotary tooling, aniloxes, sleeves, mounting tapes and ancillary cleaning products. Flexographic and letterpress photopolymer plates from Asahi Kasei were recently added to the company’s product portfolio.

The Jakarta office of Jet Technologies was only opened this summer, and the team (pictured, below) will be fully trained on the capabilities of the Truepress Jet L350UV.

Screen’s area vice-president Keiichi Kometani sad: ‘We are delighted to appoint PT Jet Technologies as our Indonesian partner for distribution of the new L350UV digital label press. It has good knowledge of the label and packaging market and also of the press because of its association with Screen in Australia.

‘Together, we look forward to helping Indonesian customers expand their business with digitally-printed labels.’

Jet Technologies director Jack Malki said: ‘This is a terrific opportunity and builds on our close relationship as Screen’s L350UV dealer in Australia, where we also represent Screen’s flexographic platemakers.

‘The L350UV is ideally suited to the Indonesian market where there are many smaller manufacturers requiring short runs of high quality full-color labels. For larger manufacturers, it also serves as an excellent press for trial marketing, versioning and personalisation of labels.’

Malki added: ‘Indonesia is a vibrant, growing market with a population over 240 million so the label requirements for food, beverages, healthcare and consumer products can only continue to grow, along with increasing prosperity.’
