Bury-based Connect, a Schawk Group Company, has become a certified FlexoExpert after successfully completing a six-month evaluation process from Flint Group.
The FlexoExpert Certification programme provides the means by which plate makers can further optimise their workflow to make more reliable and consistent plates, time and time again. With the guidance of a Flint Group expert, Connect implemented the programme and passed the final audit to receive FlexoExpert stsus. It became the second site within Schawk to receive the certification, right after Schawk Nürnberg, which serves as proof to its customers that the company follows best practice in its flexo plate making.
‘As we at Connect are one of the UK’s leading flexographic origination houses who are part of SCHAWK, we deal with numerous prestigious brands and their printers on a daily basis. It is important for us that the standards in all that we do are of the highest level. To have been accredited by Flint Group plate making experts and advised that our score was the highest ever achieved in Europe, is confirmation and recognition for us, that our quality policies are working,’ stated David Piercy, Connect’s operation director.
With its plate-making expertise and focus on service, Flint Group first introduced the programme in April 2016, and offers it to customers around the globe who are interested in broadening their knowledge on the standardisation of the flexo plate making process.
