GIDUE to take part in Graphispag 2007

From the 19th to the 24th February 2007 in the Gran Vía exhibition centre representatives from the entire graphics chain will gather in an incomparable event, Graphispag. The “Fira” will be the show-off for new products and trends, from design to transformation, encompassing prepress and printing materials.

Graphispag 2007, one of the six trade fairs that mark the sector’s world calendar, is expected to gather more than 2,000 exhibitors and 50,000 visitors among professionals, opinion leaders, buyers from Spain as well as from other important areas of the world.

Why participate in trading exhibitions? Establish contact with customers is the first goal, well achieved in Graphispag as statistics and surveys inform. Look for new markets and meet current customers is another goal. And of course new products presentation and promotion as GIDUE is doing this year with the complicity of its Spanish distributor IMP.EXP.ENRIC PONT, S.L located in Barcelona, a leader in the territory for the narrow and mid web industry.

The introduction of GIDUE agency in September 2000 has been the right step at the right moment. Thanks to the skills, expertise and proficiency of the whole IMP. EXP. ENRIC PONT, composed by three salesman and an external after service, the sales of GIDUE presses in this European area is increasing “while the rest is declining” announced Mr. Pont visibly satisfied.

“From the first Combat™ sold in February 2002, the Spanish printing and converting market boasts at the moment 16 GIDUE presses”. “The core of my activity” continues the leader in IMP. EXP. ENRIC PONT “is to be able to sell a global project showing not only GIDUE’s full range of products to cover every specific need, but also its capacity of growth and, most of all, its ability in recognizing customers’ expectations offering innovative and alternative solutions”.

Xpannd™ offset is a full rotary combined offset/flexo machine specifically designed for the label industry. Composed by two flexo, four offset and two flexo units, the machine is characterized by pre-register, automatic register control, servo motors and data storage. The redesigned ink flow geometry inside the ink train, which allows the press printing at the exceptional speeds of 12 m/min, enable the press both to achieve high quality printing at very low speeds and to produce, during set up, a quantity of waste which is very close to that generated by flexography. In addition to this, no print pressure adjustment is needed when changing the light and easy-to-handle cassette.

One of the strongest points of GIDUE S.p.A. has ever been its tendency to change the vision of the market promoting new technical products. Known as manufacturer of flexo printing machines, today GIDUE becomes a company with a strong offset inclination. With the launch of the new Xpannd™ GIDUE completely changes the perception of the major printing process in the self adhesive world: from flexo to offset, offering a solution that enables to obtain a product, which is complementary to the digital technology. With the new offset UV Xpannd™ the company offers an alternative way of thinking, convinced that offset will become one of the most probable options for the future of the self adhesive label and flexible packaging.

Xpannd™ is completing is debut Tour in Europe, Asia and America arising customers interests everywhere. In the meantime the product keeps growing to become a true workhorse in GIDUE range.

Both Enric Pont and GIDUE have great expectations from Graphispag exhibition as a mean to meet people, enlarge the customers base and welcome present customers in a friendly environment typical of Catalunya’s spirit.
