Kurz Joins PrintCity Alliance

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—KURZ Transfer Products LP announced that their parent company the KURZ Group has become a member of the PrintCity Global Alliance PrintCity is a unique integrated cross-industry strategic alliance that fosters co-operation across the graphic arts value added chain. The alliance has approximately 40 member companies. Its goal is to help respond to some of the major ongoing challenges facing the graphic arts industry. These include optimizing complete workflow and production processes in an open systems approach within the packaging, commercial printing and publishing sectors by demonstrating practical solutions with combined technology and expertise.

Peter Ebert, Head of Advertising at the KURZ Group, said: "We have been involved in several projects with PrintCity members over the past couple of years, particularly projects involving packaging and brand protection. Following the successful completion of these, we felt it was only logical that we become a formal member of the network.

"We are confident that by working in partnership with other members, we can win new business and offer a better service to our current clients. Foil stamping is just one part of the production of high quality graphics products, and we now have the opportunity to involve our clients in the whole process, not just our section. This is a significant benefit for all PrintCity members."

Rainer Kuhn, Managing Director, PrintCity, said: "We are delighted that KURZ has joined the PrintCity alliance. It will bring valuable expertise to us. "As an example, we have done a lot of work on brand protection and value added printing and will be doing even more in the future, to which KURZ can actively contribute value."
