ST. LOUIS, MO—Mark Andy, Inc. has been appointed the exclusive distributor of DuPont Cyrel flexographic plate making systems in the United States.
Mark Andy Print Products, the supplies and consumables division of Mark Andy, first entered into business with DuPont in early 2014, serving as a distributor for the Cyrel product line including plate material, processing equipment, imagers and software. A notable benefit of this new exclusive relationship is the ability to better serve flexography customers by developing plate systems to improve print quality and minimize downtime for optimizing converters’ operations, reports Mark Andy.
“Mark Andy is a pioneer in flexographic equipment committed to providing end-to-end solutions to our customers. We are excited to strengthen our relationship with DuPont, enhancing our goal of providing high-quality, reliable supply of products. It’s a best-fit for our customers,” says Kevin Wilken, CEO, Mark Andy.
Mark Andy will also assume distribution of the full suite of flexographic pressroom supplies previously sold with the DuPont Cyrel product line, including plate mounting tapes, plate imaging equipment, letterpress plates and other supplies, complementing the existing Mark Andy consumables portfolio of more than 12,000 product SKUs that support flexographic, digital hybrid and offset workflows.
Transition processes are already in place for existing customers and will be completed by Jan. 1. “Customer support is the number one priority for all brands involved in the transition. Our goal is to streamline the process for all parties, and ultimately get customers the supplies they need when they need them. Zero interruption,” stated Wilken.
Ordering can be done online at shop.markandy.com. Timely deliveries are possible through Mark Andy’s strong distribution and supply chain within North America with coast-to-coast distribution centers specializing in same day delivery, reports the company.
This expansion offers an opportunity to better serve existing customers, as well as develop longstanding relationships with new ones, the company reports. “We are committed to providing our customers with superior product and technical expertise. Our experienced team of consumables specialists will continue to deliver support and training needed to improve quality and productivity for our partners,” says Wilken.
When speaking to the new agreement, Chan Hansen, Americas channel manager, DuPont, concludes, “Both companies identified this as an opportunity to solidify our shared mission to deliver continuous innovation to printers and converters, specifically for the tag and label segment.”
