Xeikon appoints distributor in India

Xeikon, a division of Punch Graphix, has partnered with India-based Flexo Image Graphics (FIC) to strengthen its 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 products for the label market. 

‘Being in the label printing market for almost a decade, we closely monitor new trends and expectations of our customers,’ said 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,’ said 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.’

Flexo Image Graphics, founded in 2000, has offices located in the business hubs of Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai.
