The order was concluded at Labelexpo Americas 2016, with Hybrid Software reseller Anderson & Vreeland identifying the need for Fusion Flexo to upgrade its software and matching the company up with Hybrid Software.

Fusion Flexo is a pre-press and platemaking trade shop, and was founded by Brian Anderson in early 2014 following the acquisition of Hughes Integrated. Fusion Flexo offers multiple plate materials from Kodak, DuPont, Flint Group and MacDermid. Other products include engravings, dies, rubber printing plates, film, color managed proofs, pre-press services and consulting. The company has enjoyed rapid growth since 2014 by expanding its current customer base and venturing into new markets. ‘Fusion Flexo’s customers require high quality plates from best-in-class suppliers, and we needed an integrated software solution to optimize our production across the full range of products we supply,’ commented Anderson.

Guido Van der Schueren, chairman of Hybrid Software, continued: ‘Our business is organized upon three pillars: pre-press automation, customer collaboration, and tight integration with our customers’ systems and processes, all based on native PDF and industry standards. 

‘Fusion Flexo selected components from all three pillars to provide a fully integrated, extremely modern production workflow. We are excited that it has purchased the 500th license of Packz and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship between our companies.’

The Packz license was a key component of a full pre-press system purchased by Fusion Flexo at Labelexpo Americas 2016, and Anderson added: ‘We appreciate the introduction of Hybrid Software by Anderson & Vreeland, and look forward to using Packz, Cloudflow and Facelift in our business.’
