Tresu has appointed B2Print, based in Moscow, as an agent to support the company’s growing customer base of packaging converters in the Russian Federation and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

Founded in 2006, B2Print represents several market leading machine, equipment and materials suppliers to the folding carton, corrugated, flexible packaging and label converting industries, including Grafotronik, Durst, MacDermid, Sandon Global and Ruco. With a team of in-house certified engineers, an expanding technical sales team and a logistics department, B2Print offers full support, including installation, application advice and troubleshooting.

Steen Rasmussen, area sales manager, Tresu Group, commented, ‘Increasingly, converters across Russia and the CIS are realising the significance of automated, enclosed ink supply and chamber systems for optimising machine uptime, quality consistency and waste reduction in flexo printing.

‘B2Print’s strong presence in the narrow-web market means they have a high level of flexographic and installation know-how. This gives us a perfect regional base to provide a responsive, comprehensive service in the local language, along with the high levels of support that our customers elsewhere are accustomed to.’
