‘We are very pleased to be working directly with SCREEN,’ says De yan Grudev, Commercial Director of Print Solutions. ‘We were already familiar with SCREEN’s technology and were impressed by its quality through our work with finishing systems.’
Print Solutions will represent SCREEN’s digital solutions, including the Truepress JET series for commercial and book printing, the Truepress LABEL line for label printing, the Truepress PAC series for flexible packaging printing, and SCREEN’s established computer-to-plate systems.
‘We always put ourselves in our customers’ shoes and recommend solutions that truly meet their needs. In SCREEN, we have found a partner who shares our long-term approach focused on mutual success,’ commented Deyan.
Through this partnership, Print Solutions plans to deliver printing solutions and build a local team dedicated to supporting SCREEN technologies in Bulgaria.
