Flex Essentials to Sell Flexotecnica in Canada

April 1, 2014  By PrintAction Staff


Flex Essentials Inc. becomes a new Canadian sales agent for Flexotecnica, an Italian manufacturer primarily of CI flexography presses that was purchased by KBA Group in mid-2013.

The German press maker then established KBA-Flexotecnica, with KBA North America overseeing distribution channels of the technology for Canada and the United States.

Flex Essentials, led by Jim Waslowski, is an established distributer for a range of companies involved with equipment and supplies for the flexographic market. Waslowski, according to a statement from KBA North America, plans to focus on increasing Flexotecnica’s market share in paperboard and flexible packaging.

“With the acquisition of Flexotecnica, our parent company announced its intent to enter this key growing print market for flexible packaging,” stated Mark Hischar, President and CEO of KBA North America. “We have been tasked to expand KBA’s strong market position in the folding carton market into another growing packaging segment.”
 
Waslowski formed Flex Essentials 11 years ago. He previously spent nearly 20 years in the plastics industry at Brampton Engineering, where he primarily focused on machine design before moving into the sales arena, ultimately becoming Vice President of Sales for the company.
