The strategic agreement between the two leading pressroom cleaning suppliers sees the addition of the Advanced Ultrasonic Cleaning Systems from Alphasonics added to the Eaglewood product range. Alongside its Sitexco Laser Systems and Sanilox blasting technology, the company wanted to add another technologically advanced method of anilox cleaning to its offerings, and identified Alphasonics USA as a partner.
Peter J. Mulheran, VP and general manager of Eaglewood, said, “Eaglewood Identified a need in the market for a technology like Alphasonics’ product offerings. We have been following Alphasonics closely for years and know their ultrasonics are industry leading. This technology will round out Eaglewood’s product portfolio to truly provide a solution for every flexographic printer.”
Eaglewood will offer Alphasonics USA’s range to customers in both North, South and Central America. As part of the deal, Alphasonics has provided a Melanie DUO cleaning system, with filtration and roll reversal to Eaglewood’s expanding Demonstration Center in Minneapolis where customers can visit in person or send aniloxes direct for trials. Eaglewood will also offer comprehensive after-sales training, support and service to their customers through their fully trained engineers and after-care team.
Christopher Jones, VP of Alphasonics, stated: “We’ve known Eaglewood for a long time and recognized their hard work and rapid growth over the past few years. As part of our own growth strategy, we looked to partner with those that not only match our dedication and drive to providing only the best solutions to the industry, but also our values and principles, which allow us do so in a manner befitting this market. In a company dedicated to quality, value and honesty, we’ve certainly found the ideal partner here.”
