MAN Ferrostaal gains local XCP Pressguard distributorship

MAN Ferrostaal chosen as exclusive distributor for XCP Pressguard across Australia and New Zealand.

Ben Hartman, MAN Ferrostaal’s consumables manager said that the deal, which takes effect in June this year, will offer greater choice to local customers.

“MAN Ferrostaal is pleased to add this new product to our comprehensive pressroom consumables product portfolio,” he said. “Given the commercial pressures printers face today, protecting capital investments and extending press life is critical. XCP Pressguard, being fully compliant with all relevant OEM requirements, will place us at the forefront of an increasingly important product category.”

Manufactured by the Scottish-based Marott Graphic Services, XCP Pressguard is a corrosion protection fluid formulated to provide complete protection across all parts of the printing press; from cylinders and plate clamps to bearers and side frames.

The product, which is easily applied and used as an ongoing press maintenance regime, protects against corrosion, increases press reliability, reduces the risk of press down time and extends the life of the press and ultimately results in higher residual values.

Scott Sutherland, Marott Graphic Services commercial director added that: “There are generic greases and oils available on the market today, but we have designed XCP Pressguard specifically for the printing press.”
