Drytone, YAM International, Dereli, KTA and Deltagraph are all existing distributors for Lscher AG’s offset products.

Diego Herrero of Lscher Iberia was trained by Lscher Flexo staff earlier in the summer.  Lscher Iberia will sell the FlexPose!direct directly in Spain, in collaboration with previous agents Dugopa.

Andy Gotch, Lscher Flexo’s international sales manager comments. ‘Since joining Lscher Flexo just before DRUPA 2004, I have visited and spoken with most of Lscher’s European distributors and have been impressed with their knowledge of, and enthusiasm to learn about direct-laser ablation.’

Further sales training courses are planned for other new distributors in the New Year.
