Under the partnership, Xeikon will service, support and supply the worldwide Jetrion customer base, and continue the direct sales of Jetrion digital label printing systems as part of the Xeikon portfolio of digital dry toner and UV inkjet presses for the self-adhesive label market.

“EFI Jetrion printing systems have helped to establish the market for industrial digital inkjet label production, and the numerous innovations developed for high-resolution Jetrion technology – including high-end, production-class LED imaging, superior opaque white ink and true all-in-one integrated print, varnish, cut and slit systems – have given EFI Jetrion the largest installed base of UV inkjet label presses in the world,” said Guy Gecht, EFI CEO.

“As we expand our portfolio of industrial inkjet products, we prioritised our go to market investment and resources. It was a clear choice for us to pick Xeikon, one of the undisputed leaders in digital label printing, as the ideal partner to continue a trustworthy sales and service operation for the Jetrion product line. Knowing that our label customers will be in excellent hands in this partnership, we are looking forward to working closely with Xeikon to continue to provide ink for our current and future customers as we look for opportunities to expand this partnership to Productivity Software and future innovation,” Gecht continued.

Benoit Chatelard, president and CEO Digital Solutions, Flint Group, stated: “Xeikon is the perfect partner to market, service and support the EFI Jetrion product line as both companies share a common goal of delivering exceptional value, unparalleled service, consistent quality and continuous innovation – values we are committed to secure in the future for all Jetrion customers worldwide. All our customers are fully trained, serviced and supported through direct, first-line contact with Xeikon engineers, and this will be no different for the Jetrion customers.”

Jetrion users will benefit from superior customer care focused on advanced digital production operations, thanks to a strong Xeikon field presence with more than 100 dedicated service and support personnel worldwide.

As part of the exclusive partnership, the Jetrion product line will complement Xeikon’s digital label press portfolio, which includes the high-end Xeikon Cheetah Series and entry-level Xeikon 3000 Series of dry toner label presses as well as the high-end Xeikon Panther Series of UV inkjet label presses.

Adding the Jetrion product line to its portfolio, Xeikon continues to expand its range of technology and digital label printing capabilities that address the very specific requirements of label printers and converters.
