Madico Graphic Films becomes Lintec Graphic Films
Madico Graphic Films is to be known as Lintec Graphic Films, marking the formalisation of its association with Lintec Corporation, a Japanese materials manufacturer and a primary supplier to the company. The move will permit the company to extend its reach into new geographic and market areas, while also ensuring a faster route to market for new products. For customers, this is expected to result in greater choice, improved technical support and expedited delivery times.
Madico Graphic Films transition to Lintec Graphic Films enhances an already successful 14-year association with Lintec Corporation. The move also marks the first time the company has permitted the use of its name by an external company during its 76-year history.
Madico managing director Andy Voss, said: “As a company, Lintec Corporation’s continual focus on innovation and commitment to R&D reflect its unceasing strive to meet a wide range of industry needs – an ethos that is perfectly aligned to our own core objectives. Other than the multitude of noticeable advantages this exercise will afford our customers, the deployment of the re-brand itself will be seamless."
Fundamentally, Lintec Graphic Films will benefit from the full support and extensive resources of Lintec Corporation in order to drive product development for customers’ specific application requirements. This will include an increased focus on creative ideas sharing and closer participation from the solutions planning/R&D stage, through to manufacturing.
In addition, the range of products offered by Lintec Graphic Films will increase, as the company is granted access to a much wider portfolio.
Commenting on Madico Graphic Films re-naming to Lintec Graphic Films, Sumio Morimoto, general manager printing and variable information products operations at Lintec Corporation, said: “Madico Graphic Films has an exceptional reputation for combining innovation, flexibility and responsiveness, to meet the specific application needs of its customers. We now look forward to an even closer relationship with Andy and his team and anticipate that our collective strengths will make for a unique and superior proposition within the marketplace”
Lintec Graphic Films will continue to operate from Maidenhead in the UK and will retain the existing management structure, headed up by Voss.
