Brentwood, Essex – March 12, 2007 – Océ, one of the world’s leading suppliers of systems and services for digital printing and document management, has announced five new members for its Quality Centre programme, taking the total to 11 in the UK.

 

Advance Repographics Limited, Flexpress Limited, Lime PM Limited, Print Matrix Limited and Ultragraph Limited have been awarded Océ Quality Centre status, joining the network of over 60 printers across Europe.  They all use Océ’s innovative CPS and VarioPrint technology to deliver high quality printing services to their clients and are part of the Océ Business Development programme.

 

The "Océ Quality Centre" seal is awarded to companies with a proven track record on the digital printing market. Print providers must also be prepared to expand their service portfolio on the basis of Océ solutions and market their services pro-actively to bring in new business. The "Océ Quality Centre" brand is an indication to potential clients that the provider delivers first-class products and services.

 

Nick Chalk, Sector Marketing Manager, Commercial, said: “Following the announcement of the first Océ Quality Centres in the UK at IPEX 2006 less than a year ago, the number of print service providers that have achieved the standard has more than doubled.  The original UK Quality Centres have all shown positive growth in the last 12 months, and benefited from the enhanced networking opportunities, which included a European conference.  Members are already exploring opportunities to use the European network to fulfil jobs for corporate clients, as well the other Quality Centres around the UK.

 

“We are delighted to welcome the newest members to the Océ Quality Centre programme.  The expansion of the initiative in the UK is a key part of the global strategy, and we look forward to developing the relationship further in the coming months and years.
