Trelleborg Appoints Exclusive Rollin Dealer for Switzerland
Friday 17. July 2009 - Trelleborg has strengthened its distribution channels in Switzerland with the appointment of Chromos AG to handle sales and support of the Rollin range of blanket solutions in the sheet-fed, web offset and newspaper markets. The new agreement does not affect sales in Switzerland of Vulcan blankets, which continue to be sold by Manroland.
“The Rollin brand has an excellent reputation throughout Europe and we also heard very good reports from other distributors about the support provided by Trelleborg both to them and end users,” says Daniel Broglie who heads the offset department. “Rollin is a perfect fit with our existing product portfolio and our strategy of representing leading brands.
“I was impressed when I visited Trelleborgs French factory in Cernay, where Rollin blankets are manufactured. A huge amount of research is involved in bringing a blanket to market and walking around the facilities at Cernay certainly confirmed Trelleborgs position as a leading global player in the blanket arena. We are confident that the Rollin range has a very exciting, long term future in Switzerland.”
Chromos was formed in 1946 and remains a family business. The company employs around 100 people and has its headquarters in Dielsdorf. Products sold range from pre-press to finishing, while the markets it serves include commercial sheet-fed, heatset and newspapers. Chromos represents Komori and Ryobi and will be offering Rollin as first dress blankets on these presses.
