Antalis has ambitious goals in the field of visual communication.
Printing materials Antalis has ambitious goals in the field of visual communication The storage and delivery of graphic papers and the trade in office papers are the most important segments at Antalis - the company, which is part of the European Antalis Group, has mastered the processes from the storage of countless types of paper to the timely delivery to the customer. The group of companies, and in particular the Swiss branch in Lupfig, was able to expand its packaging division with the acquisition of Brangs+Heinrich two years ago. As a result, Antalis is also well positioned in this segment.growth in the Viscom segmentIn addition to the graphics industry and all companies that require office papers and/or packaging materials, the Lupfig-based trading company has also been catering to the needs of plastics processors for some time. In the Visual Communication (Viscom) segment, the company offers sheets in various materials and thicknesses as well as custom-made products plus cutting to size. As with paper, there is also a wide range of colors and surfaces to choose from.
Antalis organized an event in mid-October to present its activities in this area in more detail. At the event, it was revealed that Antalis has significantly expanded its existing range with the acquisition of Brändle + Partner, a company active in this segment: "We exclusively offer all products from Italian manufacturer Medraperla in Switzerland," explained Cinzia Valentino, specialist consultant for the slabs division.
Antalis thus offers its target group, which includes the plastics processing industry, the furniture industry and joineries as well as companies active in trade fair/decoration/shop construction and large-format screen printers, an even wider range of products. These print the sheets directly or, depending on the intended use, produce films to apply them to substrates.
More thrust in digital printingAntalis also wants to become more involved in large-format digital printing in the future. As a sign of these efforts, a flatbed printing system from Mimaki was on display at the customer event - a Swiss premiere.
According to Maurice Lüscher, Digital Customer Consultant, the Mimaki UJF-605C inkjet printing system, which can print on materials up to 60 x 70 cm in size and up to 5 cm thick, is suitable for printing on substrates, plastic sheets or even special papers. Lüscher sees digital printing as a growth market, as it is particularly suitable for the production of prototypes as well as for small and very small print runs.
Hugo Bolliger, who is responsible for the Viscom and Digital divisions, revealed that Antalis intends to further expand the Digital division. The services offered here range from the supply of consumables and plates to the creation of ICC profiles for printing systems.
Bolliger also has big plans for the panel segment: "We want to become number 2 in Switzerland here." The company has already been able to significantly increase sales in the record segment compared to the previous year. However, the digital segment has also grown significantly compared to the previous year.
