Madico Graphic Films changes name to Lintec Graphic Films

Madico Graphic Films, a UK-based supplier of specialist pressure-sensitive coated film products for durable label applications and screen/digital products, has announced a major re-brand which will see the company formalize its association with Lintec Corporation, one of Japan’s foremost materials manufacturers and a primary supplier to the company. The move will permit the company to extend its reach into new geographic and market areas, while also ensuring a faster route to market for new products.

Madico Graphic Films’ transition to Lintec Graphic Films enhances an already successful fourteen-year association with Lintec Corporation, a manufacturer of pressure-sensitive adhesive products and specialty papers for a diverse array of applications and sectors. The move also marks the first time the company has permitted the use of its name by an external company during its seventy-six year history.

Managing director Andy Voss said: ‘As a company, Lintec Corporation’s continual focus on innovation and commitment to R&D reflect its unceasing strive to meet a wide range of industry needs – an ethos that is perfectly aligned to our own core objectives. Other than the multitude of noticeable advantages this exercise will afford our customers, the deployment of the re-brand itself will be seamless.’

Lintec Graphic Films will benefit from the full support and resources of Lintec Corporation in order to drive product development for customers’ specific application requirements. This will include an increased focus on sharing creative ideas and closer participation from the planning and R&D stage through to manufacturing.

In addition, the range of products offered by Lintec Graphic Films will increase, as the company is granted access to a much wider portfolio. As well as spanning labeling and digital printing substrates, this will include products from Lintec Corporation’s other business units, such as the company’s industrial division.

Sumio Morimoto, general manager printing and variable information products operations at Lintec Corporation, said: ‘Madico Graphic Films has an exceptional reputation for combining innovation, flexibility and responsiveness, to meet the specific application needs of its customers. We now look forward to an even closer relationship with Andy and his team and anticipate that our collective strengths will make for a unique and superior proposition within the marketplace.’

Lintec Graphic Films will continue to operate from Maidenhead in the UK and will retain the existing management structure, headed up by managing director Andy Voss.
