Charlotte, NC, September 15, 2010– Global anilox supplier Harper Corporation of America is expanding its international profile again.

In late August, Harper’s printing and coating supplies division, HarperScientific™, signed a formal distribution agreement with Chemisolutions S.A.S. The Colombia, South America-based firm provides sales and support for performance- and quality-improving chemical compounds used within the graphic arts and plastics industries.

The new agreement provides Chemisolutions with exclusive distribution rights throughout its home country for Ceram Clean II™ and CeramClean Solv-it™ — two of Harper’s most widely used ink cleaning products. Jose Noel Gomez serves as General Manager of Chemisolutions; he can be contacted at josegomez@chemisolutions.com.co

“Harper distributors add much to our service commitment by providing technical advice and enhancing the everyday supplier/customer relationship,” said Jim Harper, HarperScientific™ Vice President. “Jose Gomez and staff at Chemisolutions are a valued addition; we look forward to working with them.”

Anilox roll cleaner Ceram Clean II™ effectively removes water-based, UV and solvent dried inks from engravings without damaging the cell structure on ceramic and chrome cylinders. The cleaner also removes roll face stains. Harper’s biodegradable CeramClean Solv-it™ is scientifically designed for deep cleaning of solvent-based inks, adhesives and UV coatings. The cleaner is completely free of petroleum distillates.

Charlotte, North Carolina, February 16, 2015—Global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation of America prides itself on staying actively engaged in the flexographic industry and promoting excellence and education in the field. The company was honored to sponsor and present the Combination Printing award at the 2014 FlexoTech International Print & Innovations Awards, held October 23, 2014 at the Hilton London Metropole in London, England.

The Combination Printing award was presented by Gerry O’Hanlon, Harper Corporation’s National Sales Manager wide web, and was in recognition of a company using the flexo process as well as two or more other printing or decorating processes to create a high quality print. Entries were judged not only on print quality, but also reproduction and degree of difficulty. This year’s winner of the Combination Printing award was Uniflex CJSC for Schoco Fru Chocolate Milk. The judges noted that it was “a truly innovative sample with very high screen ruling with vignettes disappearing to nothing and incorporating a novel holographic dot pattern and a spot high gloss varnish.”

“Harper’s philosophy was to promote education in our industry. They did that in many different ways. One way to sponsor events such as this, so it is very important for us and we want to be a proud sponsor of this event for many years to come,” says O’Hanlon. Harper has a large presence throughout the United States and these types of events allow it to expand its international reach throughout the market. It was also a wonderful opportunity to network with leaders in many different facets of the field and gain insight into emerging trends.

The 2015 FlexoTech International Print & Innovations awards will be held October 22, 2015 at the Hilton London Metropole, Edgeware Road, London W2 1JU.
