Futec and Maxcess enter sales partnership in select European territories

Through this collaboration, Futec and Maxcess will be able to provide a wider range of web handling systems to customers. Customers will benefit from a more comprehensive product offering, closer sales support, and the combined application knowledge and experience of Futec and Maxcess, said the companies. The agreement covers Germany, Austria and Poland, with a view to extend it to more regions in the future.

Silvio Neumann, one of Futec’s European sales managers, commented: ‘We’re excited to be bringing this new service offering to our customer and prospect base in Germany, Austria and Poland. This partnership harnesses Futec’s in-depth knowledge and outstanding product innovation in 100 percent web inspection systems and the best of Maxcess’ varied and well-established portfolio for guiding, slitting, winding and tension control products.’

Visitors to Futec’s drupa stand have already seen evidence of the new collaboration. Futec’s new plug-and-play Smart Cameras for the 100 percent inspection of web-printing applications and for the inspection and quality control of plain surfaces were demonstrated in conjunction with web guiding systems from Maxcess.  

Frank Windel, European sales manager, Maxcess, added: ‘Our strategy of offering a one-stop-shop approach for all our customers’ web handling application finds a natural evolution in this cooperation.  Combining our Fife Guiding Systems, Magpowr Tension Control, Tidland winding and slitting solutions and Webex precision rollers with Futec’s innovative 100 percent automatic flaw detection systems for print and surface inspection are a natural fit to our comprehensive suite of web handling solutions designed to optimize web processing applications. Maxcess and Futec customers will benefit through the wider and more comprehensive product offering and knowhow both companies together can provide.’
