Xanita, together with new distribution partner, Europoint, officially launched their working relationship at the United Kingdom’s Sign & Digital UK trade show, from the 22 - 24 April 2008.

Europoint is a wholly owned trading division of The Paper Company, which is one of the UK’s leading paper distributors. The Paper Company in turn is part of PaperlinX, one of the largest and most successful global paper merchant groups. Erskine Stewart, Xanita’s representative in the United Kingdom, has been driving the partnership by contacting end users and introducing them to Europoint, thereby securing a beneficial relationship for all involved.

The expo was a golden opportunity for Europoint to claim their place as a capital equipment supplier and leader in original ecological solutions for the UK market.  Xanita’s products formed part of Europoint’s “Envirobox”. This contained their full range of environmentally friendly products. Although not all 100% ecological, they do offer a more sustainable alternative to other substrates on the market. Xanita’s X-Board and Mondi Xtreme board hold a prime position in their range, and both will ultimately be introduced to key end users.

Many of the OEM’s present at the show, such as Gandi Innovations, Oce, Durst, Mimaki, Zund and Esko Kongsberg, demonstrated their support by using X-Board for their demonstrations and exhibitions during the show.

The show was a great success for both Xanita and Europoint and they both look forward to a long, fruitful partnership.
