Sandon wins EFTA silver award

Sandon Global has been awarded the European Flexographic Technical Association (EFTA) Supplier of the Year Award in the Silver class that honors companies nominated by EFTA members as their supplier of choice for 2007.

‘This award is the result of the incredible efforts put in by the team of people at Sandon Global from sales through to manufacturing and service and reflects both customer confidence in our products and the rapid growth we have achieved since the company was founded in 2004,’ said John Millington, managing director. ‘We are delighted to have received this award in the face of strong competition from larger well-established groups of companies.’

The EFTA Annual Print Awards competition offers participating companies the opportunity to gain public recognition of their achievements and the outstanding degree of excellence the flexographic printing process has achieved. Lesley Hide, EFTA managing director, commented: ‘To win an award in the Supplier of the Year class a company has to be nominated either by an EFTA member or by a company entering the Print Awards. The nominee is given points for each company nomination they receive. Once a company has been nominated, we then look at the part they have played in the winning prints so Sandon has done really well.’

Established in 2004, Sandon Global manufactures laser engraved ceramic coated anilox and gravure rollers for the flexographic printing industry. The company serves an international market and has rapidly established itself as a key supplier to both privately owned and blue chip printing and packaging groups throughout the UK and Europe. The company also offers a full engineering service for both repairing rolls and sleeves as well as developing new concepts in roll and sleeve technologies.
