ATLANTA, Ga.—MacDermid Printing Solutions announced that effective June 11, 2009, Heidelberg Canada Graphic Equipment Limited will distribute MacDermid’s sheet photopolymer plate products and equipment in Canada.

MacDermid offers a broad range of photopolymer technologies. MacDermid’s full range of products encompasses both analog and digital plate imaging technologies as well as solvent and thermal plate development processes. “MacDermid strives to offer its customers a choice—a choice in plate technology, as well as a choice as to where to buy their plates. Heidelberg’s stellar reputation and involvement in the flexo arena make them a perfect choice for a partner,” said Scot Benson, Vice President and General Manager at MacDermid Printing Solutions.

“We have built our reputation upon providing some of the best products in the industry. We chose to distribute MacDermid’s products because of the superior quality of their new products and their rising position in the marketplace,” said Jerry Wynia, President of Heidelberg Canada.

MacDermid Printing Solutions has launched six new plate products within the past year, each having been met with much success in the market. MacDermid’s new MGC and Digital MGC address the printing needs of the corrugated industry, MAX and Digital MAX are hard durometer plates and MVP and Digital MVP are medium durometer plates, both of which are well-suited to many applications within the flexible packaging market.
