Our company’s (Grafica Flextronica) saga in export market continues with the appointment of two more overseas representatives in South Africa and Vietnam. And, few more new representatives would also be appointed in the coming months. I welcome National Screen And Digital Supplies (NSDS), South Africa, and Pham Van Duc (David Pham), Vietnam as our new Representatives. We have now made a significant presence in the global market merely on merits of quality of our machines, education/ training through DMI and technical support. On the one hand our company was able to attract right distributors to market its products globally, and on the other, many distributors feel they are joining hands with a right manufacturer, requiring no further introduction or references. While many printing companies in India are indulging in imports, Grafica is aggressively exporting Made in India screen printing machines even to developed countries such as USA, Europe, UK, Russia, Middle East, etc. So, do I need to say ‘Grafica is a growing global company in screen printing machinery segment? The flash-back photo gallery being published in the following pages gives the glimpses of Grafica’s global presence. Meanwhile, let me thank all our customers in India and abroad for reposing faith in brand Grafica. We doubly thank all our Indian and overseas Representatives who willingly accepted Grafica as a trusted supplier of screen printing machines for their respective markets. We are further grateful to all our Representatives for regularly generating business for Grafica. Bhargav Mistry

NSDS GroupSouth Africa

Continuing its march towards global presence, Grafica recently appointed National Screen And Digital Supplies (NSDS), as its representative for the Southern African region. Commenting on the development, Patrick Nolan, one of the senior officials at NSDS, said, “We are very excited about offering Grafica machinery into the growing market of South Africa.” The enthusiasm of NSDS is such that they have already planned to showcase Grafica's machines in at least two major international exhibitions in South Africa, including FESPA-Africa, wherein they would be showcasing Grafica's screen printing machines. These plans are in addition to the recent exhibition, viz, Sign Africa held on

March 18 – 19, 2015 at Durban International Convention Centre, South Africa. Recalling his first tryst with Grafica, Patrick says: “I had visited the FESPA Eurasia trade show in Istanbul, Turkey, where I saw Grafica's nano-prinTag, DTG tagless label screen printing machine which was displayed by their Turkey distributor – Fatih Tekstil. Back in South Africa, I got in touch with Grafica for possible alliance. Rest is history … we are now moving in direct direction by showcasing their machine for first time in South Africa, at Sign Africa'15.” “With our new association with India's Grafica Flextronica, we wish to offer the best possible range of screen printing presses,

allied equipment and service solutions to our already existing large customer base in South Africa and neighbouring markets. We look forward to working together with Grafica,” concludes Patrick.

About NSDS Group: Historically the company's main area of operation is the supply of equipment and consumables into the industrial, graphic and textile screen printing markets. The Group originates out of the merger of the screen and digital supplies companies Rexx Chemicals (Pty) Ltd and Reprotec Graphics CC and the acquisition of the screen ink manufacturing company GL Specialized Inks. The collective Group employs over 100 personnel.

Grafica has recently appointed Pham Van Duc, as Representative for Vietnam. With this appointment, Grafica's overseas representative count has reached to 12. Other representatives include: USA, Russia, UK, UAE, Turkey (two representatives for Textile and graphics machinery), France, Bangladesh, Nepal, South Africa, and Chile.

Set up in year 2006, Pham Van Duc is engaged in printing, repairing and maintenance of

printing machinery. It employs 10 people.

“I came to know about Grafica Flextronica in 2014 while searching on the net. At first I was impressed with Grafica's comprehensive website. I decided to take up Grafica's distributorship because I found that their machines are perfect for our market. Moreover, price iscompetitive and they offer excellent service. I came to the conclusion that there is a good

score for marketing their machines in Vietnam. Vietnam is a potential market for printing business because of the ongoing economic developments and availability of cheap manpower.

“As we have already started selling these machines, we are committed to satisfy our customers in terms of technical support and meet their needs. So far we have sold nano-prinTex, Nano-Print plus; Squeegee Sharpener. This is just a beginning. As I said, right now our

priority is to provide satisfactory customer service after selling the machines as it will help our customers build confidence in brand Grafica and feel safe and believing.

“We are making all efforts to build Grafica brand in Vietnam market first, and then if everything goes well, we will plan to introduce their machines in Cambodia and Miama markets as well.”

Clemson University, USA, graphics students learn process colour screen printing on two Nano-Print plus

“The first Nano-Print plus was installed in December 21, 2012. We started using it in January 2013. We bought another Nano-Print plus within a couple of months. Both Nano-Print Plus machines replaced two older (1987) machines. We wanted two alike machines for more efficient and consistent teaching.

“The Nano Plus is a unique hybrid of a clamshell and a 2 post pillar type press. Feature-wise we also liked it; no tilt to the screen so ink does not run down to one end, no need for air system, size of the press and the print area and safety features. I like how quiet they are and the precise nature of their operation. We were looking for a similar size to the machines was replaced. We also wanted a machine that did not require compressed air to operate.

About 100 a year will have the opportunity to use the press. The rest will run the other flatbed screen presses. The students will print color separations on Nano-Print plus. In my class they do their second year in screen printing project as a part of their 4 year degree, and the project is their first color separation.

Let me tell you the requirement for such machinery are increasing as nano-prinTex has a competitive advantage over the existing brands ex-Europe and –ex-USA, and that is why we expect to sell more machines.”

Terascreen, “There came the “Nano”… the giant idea to offer at a very reasonable and affordable price, modern and sophisticated UV equipment to print in small format to do everything from fabrication of the screen to the printing action. Very small companies exist not only in India but all over the world! And they also need, even in Europe, USA or South America the “3 C” I use to speak about the Nano Premier Leagues (NPL and NPL plus): “Cleaver, Clean, Chip”. The size of Nano Print plus (55 x 71 cm – 22”x 28”) semi-automatic seems to me more suitable for the European market. Even some medium size companies can be interested for “niche” applications. The fact the Nano-Plus has a “lift of the screen while printing” is a big “Plus” for this market. Similarly, Nano-Screen Maker 5 in 1, it can be used too at that size made the whole of the Nano League extremely adapted to the printers.”

Michel Caza(Terascreen, Grafica's Representative for France)Quoted of saying in Grafica News – August 2011.Based in Champagne, France, TERASCREEN, is an European company, created under the impulse of Michel CAZA Consultant.

Sanco Technology, “In Mumbai I was shown the factory and facilities and I was very impressed with their way of working. Bhargav showed me the new factory and the blue print for his new production site.

We look forward to working alongside Grafica and wish everybody at Grafica a continued success in the years to come.”

Customers from South America are able to see live demo of Grafica's machines such as Nano-Print plus, Nano-Print, Nano-Screen Maker 5-in-1, Nano-UV, and Nano-Sharpener. Screengraf Ltda has been engaged in spreading the screen printing technique nationwide for the last 20 years. It has become the largest domestic supplier of machinery and equipment, inks, and supplemental services to printers in industrial, textile and graphics screen printing segments. “I was looking for such quality screen printing machinery and UV curing machine to supplement our current business portfolio of screen printing inks and consumables. I feel in the absence of a quality screen printing technology the printers in Chile and its neighboring market were not able to use advanced materials – inks and other consumables. I found that Grafica's technology is simple, economical and best suited for screen printers in Chile and surrounding market. Grafica officials made me comfortable in a series of meetings during SPI'12 show in Mumbai and during SGIA'12 show in Las Vegas, USA. I look forward to promote their products in a fruitful manner. To begin with we had successfully showcased Grafica machines at “Print Santiago” Show held in October 2014 at Santiago, Chile.”Angel Tapia Screengraf, Chile.
