‘We are looking to increase the adoption of workflow automation and collaboration across the Scandinavian region and AWS is our distribution partner in the Nordics,’ said James Mason, Esko regional business director, EMEA North. ‘We have built a very successful, close relationship over two decades and they have an expert team of technical advisers, particularly when it comes to our suite of software.

‘Building on the huge success our partnership has enjoyed in Denmark, we’re delighted that AWS will be taking additional responsibilities in Sweden and Norway, predominantly in the packaging space.’

Paw Mortensen, owner and CEO of Artwork Systems Nordics added: ‘We are thrilled to be bringing Esko technology to customers further afield. We’ve worked with Esko ever since we first launched our business more than 25 years ago. We’ve always had customers in Norway and Sweden, but now we have a dedicated local Swedish team covering those areas and we will be able to plan significantly more customer visits and events.’

Following a recent move to a new facility in the Vejle region in Denmark’s Jutland peninsula, AWS will be able to host technical demonstrations and open house events.

‘The plan for the new building was that it should be possible for our prospective customers to travel just a short distance to see demonstrations and presentations here, instead of having to travel to the demo center at Esko headquarters in Gent,’ said Mortensen.

The dedicated expert team of technical advisers will give packaging businesses accurate advice on the best systems and tools to optimize and automate their operations, with two recent appointments Lars Jensen and Simon Ivarsson specifically joining the business to drive the expansion into Norway and Sweden.

‘We have a quite unique and long history of working together. It is rare to find a partner in this sector with the deep knowledge of products that Paw and his team have. We are delighted to be able to work closely with a business that feels as passionately about the digital transformation as we do, and this latest move is a testament to how well AWS knows our strategy, products and business,’ concluded Mason.
