Dantex Graphics Ltd appointed distributor for Lscher Flexo

Lscher Flexo, UK, who manufacture direct laser engraving systems for flexo, letterpress and dry offset plate and sleeve-making has negotiated an agreement with Dantex Graphics Ltd to act as non-exclusive Distributor for Lscher’s FlexPose!direct systems in seven countries in Western Europe for dry offset and labels.

Since 1977, Dantex has been the European Master Distributor for Toray’s world leading photopolymer plates.  Dantex also represents the RIPit OpenRIP and the Odessa Power Converter, offering a digital proofing solution that can be integrated into FlexPose!direct’s workflow.

Dantex will represent the FlexPose!direct in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.  Ten of Dantex’s sales staff from the UK, Benelux and French offices were trained at Lscher Flexo’s Thame facility at the end of 2004.

Dantex previously represented Lscher Flexo (formally ZED Instruments) for a number of years as commission agents, and aided the company to establish eight installations of the ZEDMini (the predecessor of the FlexPose!direct) in the United Kingdom, Germany and Austria.  In April 2005, Dantex ordered its first FlexPose!direct unit since acting as Distributor – a 301 model for dry offset plate-making.

Andy Gotch, Lscher Flexo’s International Sales Manager commented: “We have had a very successful business relationship with Dantex over the years and are pleased that we can now formalise this by offering full Distributor status.  Dantex will offer service support as well as sales.  Lscher Flexo recognises Dantex’s expertise in the field of plate making for dry offset and labels.”
