Xeikon appoints distributors in Brazil and Chile

Xeikon has appointed Davis Graphics and PTC as distributors for its 3000 series of digital label presses in Chile and Brazil respectively. The appointments represent a significant boost for Xeikon in the region, where GSI is currently selling its systems in Colombia. 

Miguel Troccoli, owner of Brazil-based PTC, said: ‘We’ve seen strong growth in the Brazilian market, especially in the label sector. Many print service providers see digital printing as the perfect technology to service increased customer demand, from both a productivity and quality perspective. Xeikon technology has been around for more than 17 years. In signing this distribution agreement, our customers will have access to systems manufactured by a pioneer of the print industry.’ 

Felipe Arias, managing director at Chile-based Davis Graphics, said: ‘The Chilean print market has always been open to new technologies, and the digital label printing sector is no different. Our customers are looking for cost-effective solutions that offer flexible printing techniques to handle all types of jobs. 

‘Also, Xeikon has an excellent record in the wine label market, which is a key area for Chilean print service providers. A variety of materials is being used for labels in this market, and not having to pre-coat them makes the production process faster and delivers cost savings.’ 

Filip Weymans, marketing and business development manager, labels and packaging, at Xeikon, said: ‘We have a dedicated strategy for self-adhesive label production, and offer a wide range of solutions for this market, built around the Xeikon 3000 series. 

‘In PTC and Davis Graphics we have the ideal partners, as both companies specialize in self-adhesive label printing. They have the technical expertise and understand their local markets – they’re perfectly placed to show print service providers how far digital printing technology has come, and what the Xeikon 3000 Series can help them achieve.’
