Xeikon’s digital innovation is at the forefront of technology today and will bring new and exciting opportunities to our customers in Greece and Cyprus and in the longer term, other regions. The Greek economy has been in deep crisis since 2008 but despite the current global pandemic, companies are now seeing elements of definite improvements both in private, national consumption and in Greek exports. Printing is benefiting from both of these trends. It is our strong belief that Xeikon hardware and software has repeatedly proven its validity, quality and reliability. We find Xeikon at the forefront of technology today with the most integrated portfolio of digital equipment”

Novacel Hellas’ first cooperation was with Xeikon’s parent company Flint and today printing remains at the core of the company’s business. They regard the printing industry as a ‘safe house’ and see great potential in the Greek food and packaging industries.
The company was established by three enthusiastic entrepreneurs, Dimitris Spyropoulos, Dennis Raftopoulos and Costas Spyropoulos and today the small family run business has grown into an internationally recognised enterprise. Their annual turnover was at the level of 7.6M EUR in 2019 with a forecast of being close to 9.0M EUR by the end of 2020.

Spyropoulos concludes, “The new partnership with Xeikon is an important one for us and follows our strong relationship with Flint. With Xeikon’s innovative and world leading digital technology we know we will be able to offer our customers excellent strategic choices to find new opportunities and grow their business. With Xeikon’s unique dry toner technology for food safe printing, advanced UV inkjet technology, now with water-based inks, this is the most integrated portfolio of digital equipment delivering at every step of any given digital production process.
