Dantex expands in North America

Dantex has increased its presence in North America with the acquisition of RBCOR. Located in San Marcos CA, RBCOR supplies letterpress and flexo plates to North American end-users.

The new entity, DantexRBCor, will operate out of the two sales centers in San Marcos, California and Aurora, Illinois. Dantex intends to keep the existing staff and Michelle Garza – who will join the new business as operations VP – confirmed, ‘It’s business as usual’.

DantexRBCor will exhibit jointly at Labelexpo Americas and aims to offer its complete range of letterpress and flexo products and equipment to North American users.

Garza, VP of RBCOR, commented, ‘Dantex is able to bring to RBCOR an extensive line up of products for letterpress and Flexo. The combined sales activity will be greatly enhanced thanks to the high technology products brought to the table by Dantex. The RBCOR team is looking forward to working with the Dantex team.’

Benjamin Danon, group senior director, added, ‘After five years in North America, Dantex has finally joined forces with the right partner to bring our technology, high quality equipment and core corporate values to the North American market.

‘We are delighted with this opportunity, which will give us the capability to offer the very latest plate technology and product choice to our customers’.

As well as strengthening RBCOR’s sales with its digital plate line-up, Dantex can offer several new plate types from the Torelief and AquaFlex ranges to the North American market.

Danon continued, ‘Our Torelief plate line-up includes new digital products for label and can printing sectors whilst for flexo applications we shall be marketing Optima and Sigma plates, developed for labels and flexible packaging applications, along with our Varnica plate, for use in coating applications.

‘We will also bring our new DigiWash equipment to the market, a range of water wash processors for various plate sizes, such as the DW2735 and DW4835. The largest at this time is the DW4260 and is capable of processing analogue or digital 42” x 60” plates.’

The company also intends to set up a demo center. Danon said, ‘We firmly believe that customers will want to see and feel the new plates and equipment. There is no doubt that there is a huge level of interest in water wash flexo plate technology and we aim to satisfy this demand. From our smallest plate cleaning equipment at a throat width of 17”, to our largest processor at this time at 42” x 60”, all equipment will be shown and demonstrated to our customers.’
