Windmöller & Hölscher has confirmed Apex International as certified partner of aniloxes for the advanced flexo printing presses in its showroom.

As showroom partner the company will manufacture high-quality ceramic coated (Porosity: < 1% – Hardness: 1450Hv) and laser engraved anilox rolls and sleeves for the W&H printing presses. It obtained this position by successfully completing the ‘Ablegetest’ in the Technological Demo Centre in Lengerich, Germany. The test was used to evaluate the clean doctoring of the anilox roller at high speeds, and was a major factor in performance approval.

Bas van der Poel, technical sales director at Apex International, said, ‘We are very thankful for being given the opportunity to supply our products to the showroom. W&H is known for its top quality, innovation and optimised engineering concepts, in combination with first class service. We see similarities with our vision on the market and the approach towards our common customers and therefore we hope this is the start of a fruitful long-lasting partnership.’
