CPI scores Flint Group distributor deal

Flint Group chooses CPI as the distributor for its commercial sheetfed range of K&E Inks, Varn pressroom chemicals and dayGraphica products throughout Australia and New Zealand.

According to Brent Stephen, president and managing director, for Flint Group ANZ the agreement enables Flint Group to expand its product portfolio in the commercial sheetfed market with one of the industry’s leading distribution companies.

“Traditionally Flint Group has focused on the packaging sector,” he said. “Moving forward a key focus for the business is to make our products more accessible.  This objective is central to our partnering with CPI who has an extensive distribution network in the sheetfed segment.”

CPI’s managing director, Bernard Cassell, believes that the agreement represents a very important strategic alliance with the second largest supplier to the global printing and packaging industry. 

“It has long been an aim of mine to align CPI with industry leading supply companies across all the markets we service.  Today’s signing represents this philosophy in action,” he said.

“Expanding our range of products through this agreement with Flint Group will provide our customers with access to their extensive selection of products and further increase our footprint.”

Stephen hopes the new partnership combines the synergies of the two companies and will benefit users of both the suppliers. “Our customers will be able to access a comprehensive range of Flint Group commercial sheetfed products and at the same time benefit from the high level of service on which CPI prides itself,” he said.
