FIG expands its portfolio with Xsys flexo plates

A Delhi-based distributor adds pre-press products from a global supplier to strengthen its market position.

Flexo Image Graphics (FIG), a Delhi-headquartered one-stop distributor and service provider of flexo presses and associated equipment, has announced its strategic partnership with Xsys Flexo Singapore, a global supplier of flexographic and letterpress pre-press products.

This latest partnership introduces a range of new products, including flexo plates, sleeves, and workflow software, to FIG's product portfolio.

Designed to increase innovation, improve productivity, and significantly reduce environmental impact, Xsys boasts pre-press products that encompass plates, sleeves, processors and workflow software.

Gourav Roy, managing director of Flexo Image Graphics, said: 'Joining hands with Xsys is indeed a big step for us to provide our customers the newest range of products which we have never supplied. This marks our momentous inclusion of pre-press products into our portfolio, which is also from one of the world's top suppliers.'

'Our partnership with FIG marks a significant milestone in our journey to expand our presence in the Indian market. With their extensive knowledge and experience, we are confident that together with FIG we can achieve remarkable success and establish a strong foothold in the region,' added Roy Schoettle, vice president of Asia Pacific at Xsys.

As a global provider of integrated pre-press offerings, Xsys acquired MacDermid Graphics (MGS) from Element last year, which in turn made the company one of the leading players in the sector worldwide. This combined force of the two pre-press majors has so far yielded various significant benefits and opportunities.

Prasenjit Das, general manager of Xsys South Asia, commented: 'We are thrilled to welcome FIG on board. It's so vital to be partnered with them as they have a good track record of dealing in the world's best brands like Mark Andy in the Indian subcontinent. They will definitely be an invaluable ally in our journey to expand footprints in the ever growing printing and packaging market of India.'

The best-known brands in Xsys's current portfolio include consumables (Nyloflex and Nyloprint), plate processing equipment (ThermoFlexX, Catena and Xpress), surface screening software (Woodpecker), plate mounting (Rotec) and washout solvents (Nylosolv).
