Mark Andy opens supplies division

The new division will provide a broad offering of a variety of flexo and offset items, including pre-press, pressroom and post-press supplies, with over 10,000 products.

Mark Andy Print Products will operate out of a 126,000 sq ft primary distribution facility in Des Plains, Illinois, as well as having four regional US shipping logistics centers and one in Canada.

It merges flexo-focused Print Products and the offset supplies segment of Presstek, which Mark Andy acquired in December 2012 and April 2013 respectively.

Joe Demharter, who will lead the new division as vice-president of Mark Andy Print Products, said: ‘I am excited to help the team expand the flexo and offset consumables and supplies business with Mark Andy.

‘The formation of Mark Andy Print Products as a dedicated business entity is an important step of ensuring our customers and dealers that we are committed to helping them achieve their business objectives and improve their profitability by streamlining the supply chain.’

Stuart Gallup, director of sales operations at Mark Andy Print Products, a similar position to the one he held at Presstek prior to the acquisition, said: ‘We couldn’t be happier about joining the Mark Andy family. Their success in the industry is inspiring and we are excited to officially be a part of it.

‘We truly believe that the future is bright for Mark Andy Print Products and look forward to growth and further expansion.’
