The French manufacturer of offset printing presses for narrow web market Codimag and the British manufacturer of flexo printing and converting equipment Edale have announced the formation of the Web Tech Alliance. Becoming founder members of the alliance allows a more formal partnership to be recognized by the industry.
“The creation of the Web Tech Alliance is the next step to the collaboration engaged with Edale,” said Benoit Demol, CEO of Codimag. “Since our first discussions at dupa 2016, we have been collaborating for the past two years on projects and geographical reach.
“One of the functions of the alliance is to promote strong technical and market know-how. The use of some common agents has also highlighted the synergy of our solutions. This is the basis of the brand-new organization – an alliance that some other industries, such as car manufacturers, have already implemented.”
James Boughton, managing director of Edale says, “Our collaboration with Codimag goes back a long way, and it is with absolute pleasure and pride to jointly launch the Web Tech Alliance. Our combined range of technologies and expertise bring a strong force to the market as both parties have trusted agents and distributors across the world that create a strong brand presence and provide a local feel and knowledge to our global customers.
“We look forward to the future of our alliance and sharing our engineering excellence and developing innovative solutions for the packaging industry.”
