Intelligent Finishing Systems will increase its presence in Ireland following the appointment of Portman Graphic in Dublin as its local dealer.

Portman Graphic was established in 1988 and as well as being a Komori reseller it distributes a range of new and second hand printing presses, binding, saddlestitching and folding machines.

As a result of the agreement, it will broaden the range of finishing solutions it can offer Irish printers thanks to access to the IFS portfolio, including Horizon, Perfecta, Petratto, Foliant, Photobooks, SCS, CEM, Italdibipack and Durselen.

‘The Irish market is very important to us and one where we feel we can enhance our service and support,’ said Tony Hards, IFS joint managing director. ‘Our highly automated solutions enable operations to increase their productivity cost effectively while also expanding their capabilities to ensure they are as profitable as they can be in these tough economic conditions. We are very excited to be able to help more Irish printers make the most of these business changing benefits.’

Ian Murphy, Portman Graphic’s managing director, said: ‘We are always looking at ways to expand our service solutions for our customers and we are delighted that this relationship with IFS will enable us to do just that. There is a need in this market for easy to set up and run solutions particularly as more customers are bringing processes inhouse to maintain greater control of turnaround times and costs.’
