Gallus to handle CSAT in North America

CSAT was acquired by Heidelberg in 2011, and its products include digital equipment for printing on pharmaceutical blister packages and other materials, and more recently, the Heidelberg Linoprint L, a full color drop-on-demand inkjet printer for labels and flexible packaging materials.

The agreement extends throughout Gallus' entire North American territory. CSAT America's inventory and administration have been completely transferred to Gallus' offices in Philadelphia, which is now fully operational and already providing support to its existing customer base.

Natalie Gilbert, managing director of CSAT America, said: ‘The agreement is a win-win-win for Heidelberg/CSAT, Gallus and especially our customers.

‘Our pharmaceutical customers rely on us for superior support and fast inventory shipment, and with more staff and space at Gallus, we are set to improve on an already great service record.’

Gallus and Heidelberg recently signed an international sales and service agreement for the Heidelberg Linoprint L digital printing systems.

As a result, Gallus added the Heidelberg Linoprint L digital drop-on-demand system to its portfolio with immediate effect in Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia via its sales and service organizations.

Brian Bishop, president of Gallus, said: ‘Adding the Linoprint L inkjet printer to our flexo product line gives our consumer label printing customers everything they need to meet short-run, long-run and variable imaging labeling capabilities from one reliable source.’
