Andi Druk is going to be unique in Western Europe

“The arrival of this innovative inkjet production line not only allows us to deliver personalized print, but also to significantly increase our delivery speed and efficiency, and to work error-free,” says Frits Keulen. “At Andi, we like to take an approach based on customer demand.  What are the customer’s requirements and how can we meet them?  This is also the approach we used in our search to find our own strategic partners. Our search led us to Canon and Müller Martini. They will be putting together this machine.”

The signatures are in place

andi-breaking-news-printsolutionsThe collaboration agreement between Andi Druk, Canon and Müller Martini was signed last week during Drupa, the world’s largest exhibition for the graphics industry held in Düsseldorf.  Enno Smid, product manager for Müller Martini, says, “The approach taken by Andi Druk to handle this whole process was remarkable.  They really put the customer’s demands first and basically gave us, their strategic partners, homework to do.  The approach taken by Andi Druk to handle this process internally is unique as well.”

“Normally, a management team decides about every step in the process. And once a project reaches the completion stage, they will handle the final negotiations. In this case, Frank Alofs, manager at Andi Druk, was more or less given carte blanche and he did it extremely well,” says Frank Huigen, commercial printing director for Canon Nederland.
