EskoArtwork Strengthens Position in Japan

TOKYO, Japan—EskoArtwork, a global market leader in design, pre-production, collaboration, and finishing solutions for the packaging, commercial printing, and sign and display industry, has relocated its Tokyo office to a new and more spacious location. Serving as the central base for all Japanese operations, the move is a logical next step to support anticipated growth and better serve EskoArtwork’s expanding customer base across the region.

Based in the Shinjuku I-Land Tower in Tokyo, the new EskoArtwork office provides a strategic location for its sales, marketing, customer support and logistics activities. Equipped with a state-of-the-art demonstration facility and technical assistance center, it offers extensive support to customers, distribution channels and partners in Japan. Complementing this new office is the existing EskoArtwork office in Osaka, providing extended coverage of the Japanese market.

Carsten Knudsen, CEO EskoArtwork said, “Japan is a very important market for EskoArtwork, even more so since Esko joined forces with Artwork Systems last year. The Japanese market for flexible packaging strongly relies on gravure printing, where we have been able to consolidate our position through the former Artwork Systems. With the combined product portfolio of the new EskoArtwork, now equally capable of supporting offset, flexo, gravure and digital production, we are able to offer significant value to virtually any printing, packaging or publishing company out there. In order to handle the many new opportunities that await our Japanese organization in the near future, we have expanded our management team by appointing Hiroyuki Miyoshi alongside Kaz Yamada. Together, they will successfully drive our growth in Japan.”
