Davis Graphics S.A. was appointed Xeikon’s new dealer in Chile.
This further extends cooperation that began in 2013.
Based in Santiago, the company was established in 1968 as part of the Davis Group.
Eighty-five percent of the company’s business comes from the Chilean wine industry and demand is high for competitive, creative, high-quality labels.
Davis Graphics works with leading global label and packaging manufacturers such as CCL Industries and was awarded "Best Supplier of the Year 2020" by Asimpres, the Graphic Arts Association in Chile.
Davis Graphics is looking to expand into other regions in South America and will supply and support a range of Xeikon’s digital products with an initial focus on its dry toner technologies for the Label & Packaging sectors.
“The label industry in South America continues to flourish and we are now doing business in other countries," Davis Graphics General Manager Felipe Arias said. "Our company focus, in the beginning, was only in Chile. This new appointment from Xeikon will enable us to broadly extend our services to cover six countries within the continent. Our relationship with Xeikon started with an investment in a dry toner machine and this inspired the popularity in our country for their innovative technology. We are now doing business in Argentina supporting also Paraguay and Uruguay. We are also set to open an office in Peru by the end of this year, which will support Bolivia.
“Xeikon’s popularity continues to grow in this part of the world. Its advanced dry toner technology with food safety accreditation is proving a winner for the food and drinks industries in Chile. Now we can extend the opportunity and offer Xeikon’s leading technologies in other countries. Our strategy is to offer a complete solution – from prepress to finishing. We want to make sure that each customer has the best choice of options and every opportunity for business growth and new revenue streams. At Davis Graphics we hope to offer something different – something extra.”
