Service Offset Supplies (SOS) has been appointed as the premier UK reseller for Liyu’s range of large format printing machines, expanding its wide format offering, and strengthening its position as a leading supplier to the UK print sector.
The partnership combines SOS’s technical expertise with Liyu’s growing reputation for high-performance, precision-engineered printing systems, said the company. Liyu is one of the fastest-growing names in industrial large format printing, manufacturing every component in-house and incorporating the latest automation and printhead technologies from Ricoh and others. There are already around 50 Liyu installations across the UK.
SOS will supply the full Liyu line-up, including the Platinum KCXL, KCXL+, and KC true flatbed UV printers; the Signature, Platinum Q3XL, and EQ3 hybrid models for flexible roll and rigid production; and high-speed roll-to-roll systems such as the Platinum QR3, QR5, and PCT, capable of widths up to 5.3 metres.
As the official distributor, SOS will manage sales, installation, training, and aftersales support, working alongside Liyu England’s engineering team to provide service and genuine parts.
“We’re delighted to help grow the Liyu brand in the UK,” said Omran Anwar, joint managing director at SOS. “This partnership gives our customers a clear growth path into the large format market, complementing our existing range from Roland and Epson.”
Eddie Tucker, managing director of Liyu England, added: “We feel we have found the perfect partners in SOS and look forward to a long and productive relationship.”
The collaboration is already yielding results, with the sale of a flagship Signature UV hybrid printer featuring embedded neon inks to a UK customer.
