Sun Chemical and Eltromat, a well-known designer and manufacturer of press control systems, have established a global marketing alliance in the area of on-press color management systems.
As part of the agreement, Eltromat will purchase the business and assets of Colour Valid Group Limited, of which Sun is majority shareholder. The announcement was made jointly by Dr. Gunter Tautorus, general manager of Eltromat GmbH, and Chris Morrissey, Sun Chemical’s vice president of marketing and sales.
Colour Valid Group Ltd., a manufacturer of precision on-press color management systems based in the U.K., specializes in accurate measurement of color. Among its products is the AccuColour system, which uses patented, advanced video technology to obtain precise color measurements on press, helping printers reduce waste and achieve faster press starts and reduced make ready time.
The two companies have entered into a global product marketing agreement, under which Sun Chemical and Eltromat will market, on an exclusive basis, AccuColour systems and other Eltromat color measurement systems. Sun Chemical will also market the full range of Eltromat products on a non-exclusive basis.
“This new alliance will take the AccuColour system to the next level of development and allow its integration into Eltromat’s established product line,” said Dr. Tautorus.
“The marketing alliance allows two established market leaders to offer their customers integrated value-added solutions to better measure and control color,” said Mr. Morrissey. “This is a further enhancement of our product and service line-up offered to printers, which starts with inks and coatings, and covers an array of graphic services – from the PressChek 2000 spectrophotometer to press-mounted color control systems.”
Eltromat’s press automation equipment includes register controls, web viewing and inspection systems, press preset systems, ink fountain controls, plate scanning systems, CIP data conversion systems and ink deck positioning systems.
