SCREEN Europe has appointed Print Solutions as its official distribution partner for the Bulgarian market. This partnership is intended to strengthen SCREEN’s presence in Eastern Europe and provide Bulgarian printing companies with access to SCREEN’s portfolio of digital inkjet printing systems and computer-to-plate solutions.
Print Solutions was founded in 2013 as a family-run business and initially operated as a supplier of consumables. In 2017, the company expanded its range of services to include technical services and built up a team of engineers to support its growing portfolio of printing and finishing systems in Bulgaria.
The first discussions between the two companies revealed a clear mutual understanding. SCREEN’s engineering expertise and service network made a lasting impression, while Print Solutions recognised SCREEN as a partner that shares the same values in terms of consulting and customer-oriented decision-making.
‘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.
