Kompac Appoints New Distributor for Poland and Surrounding Area

Kompac, manufacturer and supplier of UV/aqueous priming and coating systems, is pleased to announce they’ve appointed Scorpio Sp. z o.o. as their newest distribution partner for Poland and surrounding area. 

Based in Lodz, Scorpio is one of the leading distributors of machines and materials for the graphic arts industry in Poland, and will offer full sales and support for Kompac’s complete line of sheet fed and roll to roll coating solutions. The cooperation between the companies results from Kompac’s growth strategy in Europe, and Scorpio's plans to broaden their offering in the post-press segment.

Pictured L to R: Thomas Hayes, President of Kompac, and Krzysztof Pisera, Business Development Director of Scorpio, standing with a Kwik Finish 32 UV & aqueous coating system.

Krzysztof Pisera, Business Development Director at Scorpio, said “we see considerable potential for the roll-to-roll and spot coaters in our area, and Kompac’s coating solutions fit these expectations well. This partnership will allow us to provide our customers direct access to the latest UV and aqueous coating technology for off-line and online finishing production in the graphic arts industry.”

“The appointment of Scorpio will greatly enhance access to these systems in Europe, as they have an extensive background in offset, flexography, and digital printing - which is perfect for Kompac’s coating solutions,” said Thomas Hayes, President of Kompac Technologies. “Their extensive knowledge and history within the print industry was a key factor in the decision-making process and we believe that they will be a valuable partner within our distribution network.”

COMING SOON - The EZ Koat Anilox System

Problematic Coating is No Longer a Problem!

The Kompac EZ Koat series now offers a dual coating system: the standard system for conventional finishes like gloss and satin, and the new chambered anilox system for more difficult-to-run coatings like matte and soft touch.

UPGRADE YOUR EZ KOAT TO ANILOX FOR AS LOW AS $425/month!

Changeover between systems takes minutes! The standard system operates with no coating recirculation and two-minute coating cleanup. To apply a more complex finish, simply engage the anilox system, where air tight liquid handling allows for the application of matte and soft touch coatings with ease. External coating feed and return lines circulate coating directly from the coating bucket, with no internal tanks or lines.

Proprietary servo-driven technology delivers a quality finish, with the same compact footprint and low maintenance operation Kompac has always offered. System can be field installed to most existing EZ Koat models.

“Taking part in the North American edition of the Xeikon Café allowed Kompac to work directly with printers, converters and suppliers who own Xeikon technology, and show them how our coating systems can work directly for them to.
