Xeikon looks to replicate label success with new document printing distributor in the Philippines

St. Jude Consulting & System Services, headquartered in Manila, represents a wide range of products from well-known brands, as well as offering services and consumables for the graphic arts market. ‘We see huge potential for Xeikon’s solutions in the Philippines,’ said Gynn Flores, marketing manager at the company. ‘Print on demand is a clear trend, and offset printers are quickly adopting a digital strategy to complement their conventional print business. Offset printers are used to investing in high performance equipment, and we see Xeikon presses as a perfect fit for our discerning market, which wants fast, affordable digital printing capability with no compromise in quality.’

The Asia-Pacific region is an important market for Xeikon, and where it has deployed a full contingent of sales and technical support staff, as well as opening two technology centers, one in Tokyo and one in Kuala Lumpur, to further support its distribution network. It has previously named Bent Serritslev as managing director of Xeikon Asia Pacific, who said: ‘Our initial progress in the Philippines label market has been very encouraging. We are confident that, jointly with St. Jude, we will be able to extend this success further into the document printing market, particularly considering our robust portfolio of solutions that offer an attractive alternative in the high-volume digital market for books, brochures, large format covers and wall decoration.

‘With a dedicated presence in the Philippines, we will be better positioned to create and support digital printing configurations that meet the specific needs of each and every customer.’
