Comexi, a global supplier of solutions for the
flexible packaging printing and converting sector, has widened its presence in
the Spanish and Portuguese markets, achieving a sustained growth of 121 percent
in the last four years. Since 2014, the company has registered a consolidated
increase, managing an expansion of 180 percent in this last year alone, an
unprecedented figure for the company in this area.
The main factors behind this rise have been the
technological innovations brought about by the family of Comexi F2 flexographic
presses, the Comexi F4 press, the extensive technical training which the group
provides through the Manel Xifra Boada Centre of Technology, Comexi CTec, and
the extra drive generated in the customer service department. “We have achieved
a very high rate of success, with a large share of the market with respect to
our rivals, reinforcing the sector in the whole of the Iberian Peninsula and
registering record-high turnovers in the last two years,” claimed David Morera,
Comexi’s area manager for Spain and Portugal.
Moreover, in recent years the firm has sealed a
great number of business agreements with companies at the forefront of various
industrial sectors. “We lead the market in this region. Customers are perfectly
well aware of the huge innovating capacity of our technology and, in like
manner, the group’s ground-breaking solutions in laminating and slitting, such
as the Comexi ML2 or the Comexi S1 DT, on top of laser technology and COMEXI
Offset CI8 as offset printing, the innovative technologies of the company that
make a difference,” claimed Jeroen van der Meer, CEO of Comexi.
By the same token, Jordi Gorchs, sales manager of
the group, stresses that this increase is closely linked to the high performance,
efficiency, ergonomics and effectivity that are on offer through Comexi
technology, not to mention the first-rate service and high-quality technical
assistance available with the group “Technology, service and know-how are our
strengths,” Jordi pointed out. “With our teams, companies can make a giant
technological stride forward and, at the same time, through the sessions and
training given at Comexi CTec they can improve their own teams’ productivity by
offering applications which will have them stand out from their competitors.”
In particular, in the last four years more than 370
participants from 121 Spanish and Portuguese firms have shared in the different
advanced training sessions conducted in Spanish and English which have been
laid on at the Comexi CTec facilities. At the same time, the technicians from
the Centre of Technology have offered upwards of 60 training sessions in the
customers’ own facilities and in their consultancy services to more than 130
companies from around the world. “The ever-increasing number of participants in
technical courses and services made available at customers’ request in these
last few years help to endorse us as the guiding light of knowledge in our
sector,” affirmed Gloria Deulofeu, academic coordinator at Comexi CTec.
“We are living through some incredible years and we
can be justly content and proud of the results achieved and with the
strengthening of our leadership. We have some really positive figures to show
for our efforts and it is with some joy that we welcome back customers who had
seen fit to look elsewhere for the machinery and who now place all their trust
in Comexi. Although the competition is showing much movement, we are driven
even more by a constant desire for innovation, that our efforts will continue
to mould the success of our customers,” David concluded. In the coming years
the aim of the company shall be to continue growing along similar lines,
leading the sector and swelling its share of the market through the desire of
strengthening even further the sales in this region.
Recently, Comexi’s participation in the Hispack
Fair came to an end: “We can count ourselves more than satisfied with our
involvement in the fair and grateful to all our customers for the interest
shown. We always value this personal contact and see it as a wonderful
opportunity to consolidate our relationship. One added plus is that this year
Hispack has recognised the work done by the Manel Xifra Boada Centre of
Technology—Ctec—as the main driving force of knowledge in the field of flexible
packaging, to the extent that, under the auspices of Hispack, we carried out
three technical talks with some success: Carles Rodríguez, Comexi lamination
brand manager, made a presentation on packaging and sensory experience; Albert
Torrent, Comexi slitting brand manager, carried out another on how to gain
flexibility in packaging operations, as well as being part of an interesting
debate on robotization in productive processes; and Pere Becerra, Comexi demo
center manager, ended with a session on sustainable technology solutions,”
noted David.
