PuzzleFlow at IfraExpo fair

2005-11-04

At the IfraExpo 2005 fair, which took place from 17 to 20 of October in Leipzig (Germany), ACCHSH was presenting their products at the stand of Lewald & Partner (ACC’s distributor in Germany) and Mecom companies.
Presentations and meetings with customers and business partners were mainly devoted to the PuzzleFlow workflow system, an ACC’s flagship product.

Lewald & Partner company, which exhibited at IfraExpo under the PuzzleFlow Deutschland brand name, is the exclusive distributor of ACCHSH products in Germany. The co-operation of both companies was established in 2001. From that date ACCHSH products have been purchased by more than 100 German customers. Elmar Gaschet, Sales Director at Lewald & Partner says: The majority of our German customers are PuzzleFlow system users. What’s interesting, there are many different companies among them: printing houses, publishing houses as well as general industry companies, e.g. insurance companies.

The PuzzleFlow system version devoted to the newspaper printing industry was the main subject of talks with the current and possible customers during the whole fair. According to Elmar Gaschet, some of them will be transformed into new PuzzleFlow agreements. Andrzej Czyz, partner at ACCHSH adds: We believe that we’ll sign new dealership agreements (also with big industry vendors) as well as new PuzzleFlow licenses with new customers soon. At other exhibitions, e.g. Drupa, Print’05 and Nexpo, we have also established many new contacts with current users of PuzzleFlow. They represent newspaper printers and publishing houses from all around the world.

Lewald & Partner was co-exhibiting with the Mecom company at IfraExpo. Mecom is a manufacturer of highly advanced data transmission systems, devoted to the printing industry as well as others. The company was established by several press agencies, including Deutsche Presse Agentur and AFP. Transmission and communication systems developed by Mecom are very well known among newspaper printers and publishers – Elmar Gaschet says. – Mecom is our partner in the Adwebconnect project, devoted to interactive, networked ads management in newspaper publishing houses.
Andrzej Czyz adds: I hope that soon we will be able to inform about the next steps in our co-operation with Mecom. Mecom is another well known vendor that has decided to establish co-operation with ACCHSH lately. Since 2004 Heidelberg has been implementing one of the PuzzleFlow modules in its Prinect system. On the other hand, a few months ago we upgraded PuzzleFlow with the RIP module, developed by Founder Electronics, an industry giant from China.
