Recently, in association with its local sub-distributor Graficolor, RH Solutions had exhibited Grafica’s NPL at FESPA Mexico held in Mexico City on 18-20 August 2011.

They said they were looking for such a screen printing solution in Mexico.

Announcing this development, Grafica’s managing director Bhargav Mistry said: “Screen printing as a versatile process has huge demand in industrial printing, textiles, graphics and packaging. Screen printers in the Americas can explore the power and secrets of screen printing for value addition, the way we have successfully explored in India. Hence, I see a great potential for Grafica’s products in the Americas.”

He continued: “The marketing, distribution and service network set up by Grafica through RH Solutions is well timed as the SGIA 2011 Expo is round the corner.”

Bhargav announced that RH Solutions will show case Grafica’s Nano-series screen printing machines and allied equipment packaged as Nano Premier League (NPL) at SGIA Expo 2011 (Booth No. 2901), scheduled to be held during October 19-21, 2011 at New Orleans, USA.

Commenting on RH Solutions’ alliance with Grafica, company’s director Ron Hayden said: “We happened to see live demo NPL and process colour screen printing above 100 LPI using Nano-Print at FESPA AMERICAS. After a close evaluation I came to the conclusion that Grafica is a manufacturer of high quality semi to fully automatic screen printing machines and ancillary equipment. We realised that there lies a good market for Grafica’s machines in the Americas.”

He continued: “We studied inside and out and found that Grafica machines are engineered with a heavy duty chassis/base together with high quality components for reliability, high performance repeatability and long life yet, economically prominent. Especially I also saw a great potential for their brand new innovation – Nano-Print plus, an ergonomically designed semi automatic screen printing machine which was voted ‘Best Product of the Year’ during Screen Print India Expo 2010, an international exhibition held in Mumbai in December 2010.”

According to Ron, customers in US market are looking for quality, competitive price and excellent service support. “Industrial-quality built machines and equipment are very important as well as the support behind it and that’s why RH Solutions has formed a strategic alliance with Grafica which is very well known for its excellent products, responsive technical support and after sales service,” he added.
