Matthias Horn, Regional Sales Director EMEA (Europe Middle East Africa) for Trelleborg Printing Solutions, says: “In France, we mainly sell direct to end users from our manufacturing and converting facility so setting up an online sales option for customers was an obvious route to providing an even better service. Printers have the convenience of being able to place orders around the clock and this will enable us to process work more quickly, while also handling the administration side of the transaction more efficiently.

“Printers throughout France can simply log on using a password and will be able to more effectively take advantage of a range of digital services, such as our product configuration software. This really streamlines doing business, providing a quick and simple means of working out which are the most suitable offset blankets for the press and job involved. It will be easier for customers to check prices for standard and bespoke blanket sizes, what has been ordered and what stage their order is in the delivery cycle. We believe that the new system will also be useful to our dealers, while the ability to easily purchase pressroom chemicals is an added bonus for everyone.”
