Durst Further Expanding its SE Asia Business

Sales offices consolidated to form a larger branch office in Singapore

Brixen, Italy – 14/12/2017 – Durst, manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technologies, has been represented by sales partners in Southeast Asia for more than two decades and has had a presence there since 2006 in the shape of Durst Image Technology Asia Pte. Ltd., via a branch office in Singapore. The catalyst for founding the branch was the need to servicing the successful Lambda and Theta photo lab systems, followed by the marketing of the Rho Series digital large format printers. However, increasing segmentation and portfolio expansion toward industrial production technologies prompted Durst to establish Durst Industrial Services Pte. Ltd. in 2013, which also leverages Singapore as a hub to serve the entire Asia-Pacific region in its industry sectors – chief among which is the digital ceramic tile decoration – where Durst leads the global field in the market and technology sectors. Merging the two offices to form a central branch office helps establish a presence commensurate with the growth potential of the region. This change will also see the team of Mr. Kong Hian Low, former Managing Director of Durst Image Technology Asia Pte. Ltd. and a photo industry veteran, transferred to Durst Industrial Services Pte. Ltd., headed by Managing Director Rafael Royo. Rafael, from Valencia/Spain, has been working for Durst for four years, which have seen him successfully expand ceramics printing and label printing segments in the region. The qualified ceramic engineer has already – professionally speaking – successfully cut his teeth establishing and managing subsidiaries in Southeast Asia for leading technology companies.
“As our internationalization progresses, the Southeast Asian market will become a key pillar of our business,” says Christoph Gamper, Durst Group CEO. “Success depends, of course, on having the right people, and with that in mind, I would like to thank Mr. Kong Hian Low for his many years of service. In Singapore, he witnessed and was actively involved in transforming Durst from a photo technology provider to an industrial printing machines manufacturer. It’s now time to pass on the baton – step forward Rafael Royo, who has played a key role in recent years in helping expand our installation base in the region for Gamma ceramic printing systems. He is now tasked with representing Durst’s entire product range, including large format printing, label printing, ceramics printing and textile printing, and helping set up a 24/7 service and support structure.”
The new branch, Durst Industrial Services Pte. Ltd. will be headquartered in:

Cerâmica Portobello Expands Partnership with Durst

Brazil’s largest tile manufacturer is producing successfully using 15 Durst Gamma ceramic printing systems

Brixen, Italy – 11/12/2017 – Durst, manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technologies, installed the 14th and 15th Gamma ceramic printing system at the largest Brazilian tile manufacturer, Grupo Portobello S/A, in October 2017. The company has counted on the reliability and performance of the Gamma series since 2011 and is continually investing in the latest technology. Using the new Durst Gamma 108 XD 4.0, equipped with the Durst DM print head technology, Portobello will now be able to produce special floor tiles with high ink coverage and use the equally new Gamma 148 XD for large rectangular tiles at 90x90, 100x100 and 120x120 cm. The close partnership between Portobello and Durst is the result of both companies striving for absolute quality. Portobello’s tiles are characterized by the highest printing quality, fine details in the print image and brilliant colors. Durst Gamma printing systems are not only used for the premium lines, but also for mass producing the sub-brand “Pointer”. After all, banding-free results and color stability are also some of the competitive advantages of this brand. In 2015, Portobello achieved a production volume of over 30 million square meters and could rely on the high uptime and 24/7 availability of the Gamma XD printing systems. Service and maintenance play an important role with these production figures. Here, too, Portobello is able to benefit from the low cost and reduced effort. In the meantime, Portobello achieves total sales of over BRL 1 billion (approximately USD 320 million) per year and employs 2,600 people.

Ceramika Paradyż has been using Durst Gamma for decoration since 2007

By investing in the current Gamma XD series, Ceramika Paradyż now has 3 generations of ceramic printers working in production

Brixen, Italy - 10/10/2017 – Durst, leading manufacturer of advanced digital printing and production technology, has installed the seventh ceramic printing in succession at Ceramika Paradyż. Already back in 2007, Ceramika Paradyż invested in a Durst Gamma 60 and was thus the first Polish tile manufacturer to add digital decoration to its product range. Introduced as a differentiation feature, digitization in fact turned into a growth motor for the Paradyż Group which today is one of the leading tile manufacturers in the Polish ceramic market. Over the last 10 years, the company has constantly expanded its production facilities, investing among others in the Gamma 75 KD generation, Pictocer and now also in the Gamma XD series. Today there are altogether 7 Durst ceramic printing systems working in the company's production facilities, with the first Gamma 60 still being used to decorate wall tiles.
"For more than ten years now we have been convinced by the Durst Gamma printing systems, which give us the necessary printing quality when used for tile decoration, as well as being sturdy and reliable for absolute economic efficiency", says Przemysław Kaczmarski. "The current investment in the Gamma XD series lets us expand our portfolio once again, using effect inks for a broader range of decorative designs as well as significantly improving the production process."
Ceramika Paradyż was particularly impressed by the outstanding printing quality of the Gamma XD series, which is necessary for making demanding ceramic products, including for example large-sized tiles or when printing images instead of the usual stone or wood effects. The printer's intuitive user interface makes it quick and easy for Ceramika Paradyż to convert graphic formats, thus considerably reducing the preparation periods for new projects. Furthermore, it is possible to simulate the printing quality of preceding models when developing new products so that the same design can be produced on different production lines.
