Druckfarben aims to double sales of its new Perfect Dot blanket and TyreF coating blanket ranges

Monday 27. October 2014 - In April this year Druckfarben acquired the business of Pomeroy Pressroom Products bringing with it the market leading range of IMC PERFECT DOT offset blankets. Druckfarben is now a primary partner of IMC in the UK. This combined with Druckfarben's comprehensive range of TyreF specialist coating blankets now makes them a major global supplier of blankets and associated services.

Since April, Druckfarben has invested in growing its direct sales team with the aim of achieving sales of over 50,000 sq metres of blankets in the next 12 months; double the existing figure. The blanket offering is also available to distributor partners of Druckfarben who will specifically target SMEs.
Grant Penfield, Group Managing Director for Druckfarben stated “At Druckfarben we have made the conscious decision to focus upon one manufacturer of offset printing blankets, IMC PERFECT DOT, and one manufacturer of specialist coating blankets, TyreF. This ensures that we can provide excellent technical support and an unrivalled stock holding of a complete range of high quality products. Our investment in new people and products is already seeing considerable benefits to customers and our business. One recent example is the IMC Perfect Dot Duro blanket which is already proving very popular with our heat set offset customers as it is giving them extended blanket life at high running speeds. “
Druckfarben can supply standard and bespoke sized printing blankets for a wide range of applications, including sheet fed, heat set, foil, metal, decorating, two-piece-can, envelopes and plastic printing.
In addition they can apply mounting adhesives to a selection of blankets and other allied materials and offer full cutting and stripping service. Its conversion capability also covers a comprehensive range of barring and punching options.
The full range of products can now be viewed in one comprehensive new Blanket Brochure produced by Druckfarben and launched in September. The guide shows the full range with key features, applications, illustrations and product specifications.
