Xeikon has opened its first Technology Centre in the Asia Pacific. The centre is based in Malaysia and follows the strategic focus and continuous growth Xeikon is experiencing in this region.
The official inauguration earlier this week was attended by Xeikon customers from the label, folding carton and document and commercial markets, and presided over by Cheong Kok Wai, the president of the Selangor & Federal Territory Chinese Printing Presses Association, Dato Koay Hean Beow, president of the Malaysian Printing Association and Wim Maes, CEO of Xeikon.
Maes says, “We are seeing unprecedented growth in Asia Pacific. Xeikon is expanding fast in this region and we find it important to build and foster close bonds with our customers there. The 450 sqm facility will help us achieve these goals, as it will be addressing the business and educational demands of our customers for more testing, benchmarking and product demonstrations. It will enable us to fully support the growing needs of the local industry.”

The new Technology Center features Xeikon’s extensive portfolio of presses and suites for labels and packaging applications as well as for document and commercial printing applications. On display, is the Xeikon 3050 digital press, its wide web entry-level press of the Xeikon 3000 Series. The Xeikon 3050 press is designed specifically for label and packaging converters who need a wider web width for the production of their prime label, folding carton, promotional and transfer applications.
Bent Serritslev, managing director Xeikon Asia Pacific (ASPAC) says, “Xeikon is building a strong sales channel network in Asia supported by a long-standing market and industry knowledge. Through an array of digital solutions offering flexibility, quality and creativity, Xeikon helps its customers to stay ahead of developing trends. The new Malaysia-based Technology Center will allow us to further improve our service to new and existing customers in the region.”
Future visitors and customers will also have the chance to view Xeikon’s large set of solution suites developed in collaboration with its global network of Aura partners. The suites respond perfectly to the needs of some of the fastest growing digital printing niches.
