Pulse Printing Products: renowned for ink and varnish production Sales partner UK Pulse Printing Products sells Epple printing inks successfully in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Printing houses profit from the enormous applica- tion specific know-how arising from this exclusive sales partnership. “Service, Quality, Reliability”. The Bristol, England based Pulse Printing Products philosophy has already convinced a lot of customers. Epple Druckfarben AG is also delighted with the level of specialist knowledge and the sales structure of their sales partner, as emphasised by Gunther Gerlach, Chairman of the Board at Epple Druckfarben AG, already on the occasion of the cooper- ation agreement in 2016. Pulse Printing in turn appreci- ates the innovative inks produced by Epple, which are known worldwide for their quality and exceptional print- ing results. Epple's practiced sustainability regarding products and production has been an additional con- vincing factor for the English ink experts. Pulse Printing, founded in the year 2000, is not only an exclusive Epple Agent; Pulse Printing is in itself a re- nowned producer of inks, varnishes and adhesives. The innovative UV Curable Coatings, water based coatings and adhesives are exported to over 40 countries world- wide.

Alongside the qualified sales personnel, this also includes a needs-based Second Level Support supplied by Epple's application technolo- gy team. Short delivery times are another plus: the local warehouse in Bristol and a mixing station for special inks ensures this. In the mid nineties they became one of Epple's first sales partners. Quermia Graphics have supplied the printing houses in the Benelux region and France with printing inks from Epple ever since. The partnership has remained lively and success- ful, as proved by the many joint projects. "Quermia Graphics is a very well renowned agent of consumer materials for printing, who additionally live Epple's concepts of variety and product quality and sell optimally." That is how Gunther Gerlach, Chairman of the Board at Epple Druckfarben AG, describes Quermia Graphics, who are the exclusive sales partners for the important markets in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France.
