FIG ties up with French company DCM ATN

DCM ATN, French manufacturer of printing and converting machines, has appointed Flexo Image Graphic (FIG), as its distributor in the Indian sub-continent. 

FIG is a one-stop distributor and service provider of flexo presses and associated equipment. Based out of Nanterre, France, DCM ATN boasts a vast portfolio of machines for printing, waxing and lamination, slitting rewinding, rewinding and inspection and shrink sleeve. 

Gourav Roy, managing director, Flexo Image Graphics, said: ‘We are delighted to announce our partnership with DCM ATN for distributorship of the company’s flagship printing and converting machines in India.’ 

DCM machines are globally acclaimed for efficiency and ease of use and lasting for years, nearly 30 years in general, the company reported. 

Jason Elvery, area manager Asia, DCM ATN, said: ‘Most importantly, FIG has an excellent customer-focused attitude to bring real solutions for their customers. It has been just a matter of few months since we collaborated with them, but they have so far sold a handful of DCM machines, which include machines for slitting, sleeve seaming, doctoring plus perforation, and cutting for shrink sleeves.’ 

According to Elvery, India has quite a mixed market where certain printing and conversion companies prefer lowest cost machines. ‘What I found in the current Indian printing and packaging conversion market is that more and more companies start recognizing the fact that paying a bit more for the right machines eventually enables them to engage in more efficient and economical production with quality and consistency,’ he added. 

With its experiences and background of designing and manufacturing of converting machines for more than 70 years in the industry, DCM ATN has been one of recognized technical leaders in the world’s slitter rewinder market. ‘We have been designing and manufacturing shrink sleeve seaming machines over the last 40 years. Such a prolonged experience like this makes us a technical leader in the market,’ mentioned Elvery.  

FIG has been an India distributor of a list of highly reputed global manufacturers including Mark Andy, Rhyguan, Rotoflex, Luster, Kluge, KDS Quantum, Presstek, DYM Machinery for years.
