Xeikon, an innovator in digital
color printing technology, is pleased to announce its first Technology Center
in Asia Pacific. The offices are based in Malaysia and testify of the strategic
focus and continuous growth Xeikon is experiencing in this region. The official
inauguration earlier this week was well attended by Xeikon customers from the
label, folding carton and document & commercial markets, and presided over
by Mr. Cheong Kok Wai, the President of the Selangor & Federal Territory
Chinese Printing Presses Association, Mr. Dato Koay Hean Beow, President of the
Malaysian Printing Association and Mr. Wim Maes, CEO of Xeikon.
“We are seeing unprecedented
growth in Asia Pacific,” comments Maes. “Xeikon is expanding fast in this region
and we find it very important to build and foster close bonds with our
customers there. The brand new state-of-the-art 450 sqm facility will help us
achieve these goals as it will be addressing the business and educational
demands of our customers for more testing, benchmarking and product
demonstrations. It will enable us to fully support the growing needs of the
local industry.”
The new Technology Center features
Xeikon’s extensive portfolio of presses and suites for labels and packaging
applications as well as for document and commercial printing applications. On
display, is the Xeikon 3050 digital press, its wide web entry-level press of
the Xeikon 3000 Series. The Xeikon 3050 press is designed specifically for
label and packaging converters who need a wider web width for the production of
their prime label, folding carton, promotional and transfer applications.
“Xeikon is building a strong sales
channel network in Asia supported by a long-standing market and industry knowledge.
Through a vast array of digital solutions offering flexibility, quality and
creativity, Xeikon helps its customers to stay ahead of developing trends. The
new Malaysia-based Technology Center will allow us to further improve our
service to new and existing customers in the region,” concludes Bent
Serritslev, Managing Director Xeikon Asia Pacific (ASPAC).
Future visitors and customers will
also have the chance to view Xeikon’s large set of solution suites developed in
collaboration with its global network of Aura partners. The suites respond
perfectly to the needs of some of the fastest growing digital printing niches.
