Komori America Corporation and Screen GP Americas have entered into a strategic selling agreement that effectively joins the two companies’ sales organizations. Komori America will now be the sole distributor in the United States of Screen GP’s new Truepress Jet520HD, a continuous, high-speed, high-definition inkjet press powered by the Equios Digital Front Workflow solution. Screen GP Americas will bring its extensive knowledge and expertise in the inkjet marketplace to the partnership with Komori America.
“This is a great opportunity for both Komori and Screen GP,” said Eiji Kajita, Director and Operating Officer of Komori Corporation. “By joining our U.S. sales teams, we will have double the workforce to take both Komori’s offset and Screen GP’s digital products to the marketplace. But more importantly, we know our customers will benefit from the combined expertise of our two teams.”
Katsuhiko Aoki, President of Screen GP, added: “We have a longstanding relationship with Komori and it just makes good business sense to take the strengths of our two product lines and the technical expertise of our sales teams to join together to grow our market share. We’re looking forward to the future and we’re confident commercial printers will see real value in working with one organization that’s focused on their success regardless of the technology platform.”
Building on Screen GP’s 10 years of experience in the continuous, high-speed inkjet market, the Truepress Jet520HD brings together leading technologies in paper transport, drying techniques, printheads and wide-gamut inks. The press can support for a wide range of stocks, from 18-pound paper to 9-point card stock.
