Sun Chemical and Cyngient agree distribution partnership

Sun Chemical has named Cyngient as a strategic distribution partner of its inks, coatings and other products for offset, narrow web tag and label, commercial sheet-fed and folding carton printers in North America.

The new partnership will also allow Sun Chemical and Cyngient to reach their North American inks customers faster and more efficiently

Cyngient is a full-service, technology-driven provider of inks, coatings, adhesives and custom-built technologies for the flexo and commercial printing industries. Cyngient customers will now have access to Sun Chemical’s full range of options that can be combined with many of Cyngient’s specialties, including special effects, soft touch and tactile coatings, cold foils and in-mold products.

The new partnership will also allow Sun Chemical and Cyngient to reach their North American inks customers faster and more efficiently, it is claimed, and will jointly provide customers with technical and product support.

Dennis Sweet, Sun Chemical vice president for commercial, Rycoline and distributors, North American Inks, said: ‘Cyngient is much more than a distributor; it is a partner that develops relationships, provides technical service, does its own lab work and will serve as an extension of our technological capabilities. Combining Sun Chemical’s technology and capabilities with Cyngient’s service to customers brings together the best of both worlds.’

Andrew Wasserman, managing partner at Cyngient, added: ‘Sun Chemical is a global leader with the world’s largest research and development center dedicated to printing ink technology. We are excited at Cyngient to be a partner with Sun Chemical. We believe with this combined partnership, Cyngient can deliver leading edge ink technology, enhanced on-site training, along with delivering the highest level of service. This is truly a game changer for Cyngient and our customers.’
