Lscher Flexo appoints Printing Products as distributor in South Africa

Lscher Flexo, UK, has announced the appointment of Printing Products (Pty) Ltd as its distributor in South Africa. Printing Products is a company of 32 people, operating out of three offices in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.  The company has been supplying the print industry in South Africa for over 40 years.  They have represented Lscher AG‚s XPose! CtP systems for the last four years. Printing Products aided Lscher Flexo in securing the sale of one of the five direct-laser engraving systems ordered on the company‚s stand at DRUPA 2004.  This FlexPose! direct will be installed at a flexo label and flexible packaging printer in South Africa in November 2004. Doug Mawdsley, Lscher Flexo’s Product Manager, will be installing the system, and while in South Africa will be training Printing Products Service Engineers in the installation, maintenance and servicing of the product.
Lscher Flexo's Andy Gotch comments, 'Since Lscher AG acquired the company we have, after careful selection, appointed over 12 new distributors worldwide.  Printing Products are an excellent example of a distributor well steeped in the printing industry, yet driving to market the latest in direct laser engraving technology in their territory.  The direct engraving market is specialised and unique within the flexo industry and we look forward to working successfully together with Printing Products to build on this first sale.'
