In line with the global BFT Group’s strategy to create partnerships with leading anilox roller manufacturers across various geographic regions, BFT is proud to announce a significant partnership for the United States market with ARC International, founded by Mike Foran.
This collaboration in the American market will be spearheaded by Technoflex Inc., BFT Carbon’s pivotal distributor, under the leadership of Neil Livesey. With over 25 years of expertise in carbon fiber chambers, Neil is a central figure in the American flexographic printing industry, making Technoflex the cornerstone of this partnership.
ARC International, with manufacturing facilities in Charlotte, NC, and Las Vegas, NV, is celebrating its 40th year of operation. The company supplies a comprehensive range of newly fabricated and reconditioned flexographic printing and corrugating rollers and roller cleaning products. ARC International has technical representatives strategically located across the Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, Southwest, Northwest, and Mexico, making it a FULL-SERVICE supplier to the corrugated, wide web, and narrow web industries.
“We are thrilled to have a partner like ARC International for the U.S. market. They are well-known and have a strong presence in every state, consistently participating in major events across the country,” commented Simone Bonaria, COO of BFT Group.
The American market is highly significant for BFT Group, prompting the development of the new single blade ON300, featuring an innovative design and a concept focused on minimizing consumable parts. BFT Group’s product portfolio not only includes open and closed carbon fiber doctor blade chambers from BFT Carbon but also comprehensive inking and wash-up systems, automatic viscometers, and the brand new INK600 instant ink consumption system. All these products will be presented to customers by the ARC Sales Team.
Both BFT Group and ARC International will be showcasing their innovative solutions at the upcoming North America’s largest corrugated event SuperCorrExpo in Orlando (FL) from 8th to 12th September, 2024. We invite all industry professionals to visit our booths and explore how our partnership can benefit your operations.
