Andy Pomeroy shakes hands with Grant Penfield
Druckfarben acquired the business of Pomeroy Pressroom Products and has relocated the Pomeroy Coleford operation to Druckfarben Group’s Corby site.
With the purchase of this supplier of printing blankets, pressroom consumables and chemicals, Druckfarben, already a manufacturer, seller and distributer of commercial printing inks and press related consumables, strengthens the range it can offer printers.
The Pomeroy range includes IMC Perfect Dot blankets for web offset and sheet fed applications, TyreF Speciality Packaging and Commercial Print Coating blankets, press chemistry, consumables, Chemie Technik lubricants, solvents and accessories.
With this acquisition Druckfarben and Shackell Edwards customers can benefit from printing and coating blankets produced in standard and bespoke sizes. Blankets are available for a wide range of applications including sheet fed commercial and packaging, heat set, foil, metal decorating, two-piece-can, envelopes and plastic printing. In addition to the expert barring service, the Pomeroy converting service can apply mounting adhesives to a wide selection of blankets and other allied materials
Founder, Derek Pomeroy, said, ‘The result of the acquisition with Druckfarben is now a great combination of strong brands and many years of hands on experience in the field of ink and pressroom essentials. In addition, the recognised quality of Pomeroy’s blanket conversion facility and packaging will further enhance Druckfarben’s reputation in the marketplace. This new combination will be of great benefit to customers, both old and new, in today’s highly demanding market place.’
Grant Penfield, group managing director for Druckfarben, stated, ‘Acquiring Pomeroy Pressroom Products gives Druckfarben customers an extended range of high quality branded press room consumables and accessories, including the leading IMC Perfect Dot Blanket range and TyreF Speciality Coating Blankets. Furthermore, by bringing Pomeroy Pressroom Products prominent brands into the Druckfarben Group, we can maintain continuity of supply to existing Pomeroy customers and in addition give them access to Druckfarben’s market leading brands such as Shackell Edwards inks, SilkoSeal varnishes and our Eco range of printing inks.’
