PrintFactory has appointed Malmö-based Grafiska Kanalen as its distributor in the Nordic and Baltic Regions. The move follows on from similar agreements being implemented in Iberia and DACH earlier in 2021.

PrintFactory provides a suite of workflow software that helps LFPs to work more efficiently and to prepare for ongoing advances in automation technology.

Claes Jeppsson, the founder of Grafiska Kanalen, has more than 30 years of experience working in the European graphics market. This includes time with companies including QMS-Minolta, Epson Europe and Onyx Graphics.

His company will naturally aim to grow its portfolio of complementary products, but will focus the majority of its efforts on making PrintFactory a key supplier in the region. 

Mr Jeppsson commented, ‘This is an important step for us, SaaS is the future for this market. We believe that this suite of tools will simplify the lives of production teams, as well as produce a much better-quality end product for their customers. We are especially excited about the management features of the software. What we like about PrintFactory is how it accelerates production and saves money on the bottom line. This means the software almost sells itself – so we are looking forward to showing it to all of our dealers soon.’

Erik Strik, CEO of PrintFactory added, ‘We have a clear vision and I am confident in Claes’ abilities to grow this key market. Claes has extensive experience in the sector, but more importantly, he has the entrepreneurial spirit we need to push for a new, smarter way of working that will help the world’s digital print shops eliminate the painstaking and costly complexities that, for too long, have been a part of wide-format print. Take a look at PrintFactory if you want the best possible colour, consistently, and need to have access to software that makes your life a lot easier.’
