Integration Technology and IST Metz extend partnership

This includes the sharing of administration functions, technical support, warehousing and research and development activities.

Integration Technology has held a direct presence in the North American market since 2005 – initially in Boston, and later moving to a more central location in Chicago in 2007.

In line with this move, Integration Technology is to relocate its local office and operations to IST Metz’s facility at Bolingbroke, Illinois.

The move is being overseen by Elizabeth Nunes, who transfers to Integration Technology North America from the company’s UK headquarters. She will supervise Integration Technology’s North American business, pending the appointments of additional technical and business development staff for the region.

Integration Technology sales director David Johnson said there is growing demand for the companies combined technology not only in Integration Technology’s core business in inkjet but also in new emergent markets seeking to utilize the benefits of UV LED technology.

Adrian Lockwood, Integration Technology managing director and chief executive officer, said: ‘For the past three years, Integration Technology and IST Metz have been developing complementary solutions offered through cooperative sales and marketing initiatives in what is becoming an effective one-stop shop that‘s being welcomed warmly by customers.

‘The US market is one of the most dynamic and important to both companies. Sharing physical resources of administration, technical support, warehousing and research and development is a natural extension of our alliance and a strong determiner in our mutual bid to increase market share in the region.’
