Goss International expands into South Korea

Goss International has appointed Alles International as its agent for South Korea to get a foothold in the market.

Alles International will be responsible for the sales, installation, parts and servicing of Goss' web offset systems and ancillaries for commercial printing, newspaper publishing and packaging print production.

BS Park, MD, Goss, said the partnership with Alles International was a great win for the company because its customers include Fuji Xerox, x-rite, technotrans, Heidelberg and Agfa.

"South Korea continues to see steady growth in packaging and is predicted to rank solidly among the world top 10 packaging producers across almost all packaging sectors over the next five years," he said.

"The versatility of the Vpak platform across film and board applications and its integration with other packaging processes and technologies offers great potential as developments unfold.

What's more, here as in many other countries, we're seeing a clear trend towards more package versions or SKUs, which makes us optimistic that the timing is right to introduce Vpak technology to this market."

In addition to the Goss Uniliner, M-600 and Sunday press systems - Park said he wants to start exploring the opportunities of Goss for packaging and label producers in Korea.
