WILMINGTON, DE | DuPont Packaging Graphics announces the addition of Mark Andy Print Products as a distributor of DuPont Cyrel flexographic systems for the US tag and label segment in a continuing effort to advance flexo technology and accelerate the conversion of offset to flexo in the tag and label segment.

“We believe the best way to continue to grow the tag and label segment is to bring the power of industry innovators together,” says Wendy Andrushko, North American director of sales, DuPont Packaging Graphics. “Working with Mark Andy and Pitman, an Agfa company, offers DuPont a unique path to help develop technologies that will advance flexo printing. Pitman has been an outstanding distributor for DuPont for over 30 years and will continue to be the primary channel for Cyrel into the tag and label segment. Our collaboration with Mark Andy will combine their industry-leading press technology with our advanced plate technology and allow us to optimize the performance of the plate on press.”

“Our agreement with DuPont will permit us to utilize a ‘system approach’ to co-develop a solution that will increase quality and productivity of output from a traditional flexographic printing process,” says Kevin Wilken, CEO, Mark Andy. “By fine-tuning the performance of DuPont plates with Mark Andy presses, we will give our customers a competitive advantage that helps them to grow their business and increase their profitability.”

“…we are looking forward to continued growth in this critically important segment,” says Peter Wilkens, president, Pitman. “Agfa has been a leader in the printing industry for many years, and we know that when technology leaders collaborate, our customers benefit.”
