Flint Group announced the launch of XSYS, a brand-new division, the result of combining Flint Group Flexographic with Xeikon Prepress.
Although the two groups have been working closely for some time in support of the flexographic and letterpress markets, this formal alignment will bring even more collaboration and innovation to the group and its customers. With the tagline "Be Brilliant," the new division will work with its customers to honor its claim of Print Solid. Stay Flexible.
“With the integration of Xeikon Prepress with Flint Group Flexographic, we are now connecting the dots and are implementing an important step of our strategy to become a full solution provider for the flexographic prepress industry,” said Dagmar Schmidt, president of XSYS. “In forming this new division, we bring together what belongs together: Plates, Processing Equipment (solvent-and solvent-free), Imagers, Sleeves and Adapters. And with this move, we expand our expertise towards our customers. The name derives from ThermoFlexX, nyloflex, Xpress and other brands that feature the X, combined with Systems to form the name XSYS.”
“'Be Brilliant,' reflects our belief that the world needs brilliance," Schmidt said. "Brilliant ideas and developments to meet the challenges of the future. Brilliant people who have the courage and will to do the right thing. Our story started with a brilliant idea, and brilliant ideas are what keep us going.”
The existing products and brands that will be incorporated into XSYS include nyloflex flexographic solvent and thermal plates & equipment, nyloprint letterpress plates & equipment, nylosolv, rotec sleeves& adapters, ThermoFlexX TfxX Imagers, ThermoFlexX Catena Plate Processing equipment, and surface screening solutions.
All will operate under the divisional brand XSYS, keeping in place all existing brands and continuing to leverage them in the marketplace.
