GMG, a leading developer and supplier of high-end color management software solutions, and Ernest Green & Son Limited, the largest independent distributor of graphic arts products and services in Canada, have reached an agreement whereby Ernest Green & Son will represent the entire GMG product line throughout Canada effective immediately.
While Ernest Green specializes in many areas of print and graphic arts (including flexography, offset printing, CTP, digital presses and wide-format products) its primary focus for GMG products will be with flexography/packaging and commercial printing with a growing emphasis on large format “where there is a great opportunity to educate printers on the value of GMG colour management solutions.” This includes products such as GMG ColorProof, GMG FlexoProof, GMG OpenColor, GMG ColorServer and many others.
“Certainly, in our opinion, GMG is the best of the best in colour management, rendering and productivity. Combined with our reach, selling equipment and applications throughout Canada and our high level of technical support, this partnership made a lot of sense,” said Roger Parsons, Regional Manager for Eastern Canada at Ernest Green & Son Ltd. “GMG has a very broad product line that appeals to different market segments – including offset, litho, flexo and wide format – with a reputation for precision colour rendering and consistency. As a distributor, it’s always helpful when one vendor can serve many market segments.”
“We look forward to working with Ernest Green. They are are all about offering value-added services and solutions to their customers,” said Bart Fret, GMG Director of Sales, Canada Region. “As such they are an excellent match to GMG and our core values. GMG fits well into their strategy to represent colour and print consistency and excellence. This lends itself to flexo, offset, litho or digital presses. Ernest Green has considerable expertise in controlling colour in the pressroom, particularly with flexo – provided by a Flexo division that helps companies achieve operational excellence and process improvement – and offset printers. Meanwhile, GMG will further enhance print by providing a sure-fire way to deliver consistent colour management software solutions.”
