QuadTech grows presence in Brazil

Caltronic, which is based in São Paulo, will provide fast access to technical service and spare parts for printers in the packaging, commercial, and newspaper markets in the South American country, QuadTech said.

The move by QuadTech, along with the appointment of José Carlos Valverde as sales manager for Latin America, indicates an increasing presence for the supplier in Brazil, and also offers its customers in the country tax and currency benefits.

Ranjan Singh, QuadTech's international service manager, said: ‘Because of Brazilian tax law, it is essential that our customers have the ability to pay a local office in Brazilian Reais, rather than US dollars.

‘This means that customers can avoid bank wire transfer and currency converting fees. With Caltronic in São Paulo we can deliver an immediate tax saving of up to 35 percent, local invoicing and fast response in the local language. We look forward to offering a more cost-efficient service to our Brazilian customers.’

Vitor Caldana, service and project manager at Caltronic, added: ‘We've had a long partnership with QuadTech, and the new agreement represents the mutual trust developed between our companies. We feel that this new agreement will benefit customers greatly, as they can count on a larger and very experienced team to help them with all of their needs, from sales to service.’
