Weldon Celloplast named MicroClean agent in India

Flexo Concepts has begun a one-year deal with Weldon, giving the company rights to sell its MicroClean dry media anilox cleaning equipment and plastic media as well as the TruPoint and ReNew product lines in South Asian countries.

Weldon Celloplast Limited is a producer of self-adhesive labelstocks and the first Indian company in its industry to receive ISO 9001-2000 certification. Founded in 1982 by the current managing director Harveer Singh Sahni, Weldon sells silicone release liners, pressure-sensitive materials, self-adhesive tapes and a variety of coated products under the Fasco brand. The company also distributes press equipment, consumables and accessories for the narrow web label and converting industries. The affiliation with Flexo Concepts will expand Weldon's offerings to include anilox cleaning machines, doctor blade products and cleaning solutions.

Dave Burgess, vice president of sales and marketing, commented that the business arrangement will benefit both parties: ‘By working together, we will increase our presence in the area and Weldon will round out its basket of products. As a result, both companies will be better-positioned to take advantage of huge growth opportunities in the region. We are happy to join forces with a company of Weldon's standing and success in the industry, and we look forward to a solid business relationship.’
