The newly founded Epple Druckfarben Benelux BV has successfully started operations in Turnhout, Belgium. Managing director of the youngest subsidiary of Epple Druckfarben AG, Neusäß, is Danny Quermia. As a leading European manufacturer of sheet-fed offset printing inks, Epple can now maintain even more direct contact with printers and end customers in the important printing markets of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Danny Quermia has been working with and for Epple for more than 20 years. As Managing Director of Epple Druckfarben Benelux, he has a clear objective: "Fast and direct communication with customers is essential in today's graphic arts industry, which is characterised by market consolidation and highly specialised printers. The companies are increasingly asking for professional support in the optimisation of printing processes and print products. We will provide the right answers to these questions with our know-how”.

The warehouse in Turnhout in Belgium supplies customers in the Benelux countries with the product groups of printing inks, printing chemicals and coatings. With its own mixing station, Epple Benelux can react flexibly to customer wishes and deliver special colours of any kind quickly to the desired location. A professional sales and technical team with many years of experience in the industry and expertise in application technology is available for service.

Such high-quality customer service is extremely important to Wilfried Bauder, Head of Sales at Epple Druckfarben AG: "We have been well positioned up to now with excellent sales partners in the Benelux countries. Now we are going one step further and thus towards our customers: Our service will be even faster and very individual solution-oriented." Here, customers also benefit from the synergy effects of the close partnership with PCO Europe. Epple had recently taken over the Dutch printing chemicals specialist and is thus increasingly becoming a full-range supplier. Wilfried Bauder sums up the customer benefit: "By coordinating and further developing the individual product groups of printing inks, printing chemicals and coatings, we can offer customers complete and unique solutions for an optimum printing process".

Epple Druckfarben AG stands for unique perfection in every detail. Since 1870, Epple has em-bodied permanent further development and the highest of quality demands. As the leading producer of offset printing inks, Epple has demonstrated its power of innovation with early development of mineral oil-free eco-series and special types of ink for very long washing intervals in perfecting printing.

This has also been demonstrated in the sector of inks for foodstuff packaging with the patented products BoFood® MU and BoFood® Organic. Both sustainability and flexibility in business are top priorities at the medium-sized, family-run company. Unlike practically any other company, Epple is in the position to provide tailor made solutions for the individual requirements of their global customers.
