Asahi Photoproducts, a pioneer in flexographic photopolymer
plate development, today announced the appointment of Mr. Paul Chant as UK
Branch Manager.
Chant joins the business at a time when Asahi Photoproducts
is experiencing growth and expansion within the UK Flexographic market. He
brings 28 years of experience from within the industry, having worked in the
label, flexible packaging and reprographic sectors at senior manager and
director levels. Chant previously worked for Asahi in a technical sales support
role and now rejoins the company with responsibility for the entire UK
business.
Chant comments, “I am delighted to be back with the company
at such an exciting time. It is clear that recent appointments to the UK-based
technical support team have really strengthened the business unit and have
played a major role in recent growth and success. The A.Q.U.A. service is a
clear differentiator, and combined with market leading products, places Asahi
in a very strong position for future success. I am looking forward to further
developing our relationships with both new and existing clients.”
The A.Q.U.A. (Asahi Quality Universal Assurance) service was
launched in 2014 and is a critical element of Asahi’s market-leading technical
support. Asahi’s enthusiastic team of experienced technical support staff works
on site in close cooperation with printers, collecting valuable print
characteristic data through quality audits ensuring optimum plate performance
and stability as well as effective maintenance of equipment.
“We are delighted to have Paul back in the fold,” says Akiro
Kato, Managing Director of Asahi Photoproducts Europe. “He brings with him an
exceptional level of industry knowledge and expertise that will serve both us
and our clients extremely well. He is a welcome addition to the team.”
