Drytac acquires Advanced Finishing Solutions
The US-based Drytac Corporation - a
manufacturer and distributor of mounting,
laminating, framing and finishing materials and
euipments, as well as hot presses and
accessories – has recently announced the
acquisition of Advanced Finishing Solutions
(AFS), an OEM provider and distributor of
aqueous/UV-curable coating machines and
liquid coatings. This strategic move will
position Drytac to leverage the growing
demand for liquid laminating among users
of flatbed inkjet printers, digital print-ondemand
presses and photo printers and fine
art studios.
Advanced Finishing Solutions offers an
extensive line of aqueous and UV coating
equipment, with formats ranging from 3.2 M
(10.5 ft) down to models the size of a copy
machine. The company markets its products
under such trade names as VERSA-Coater,
PhotoMate, PressMaste and DocuMate UV,
Cyclone UV, AFC Liquid Coaters,
ENDURACoat and INSTACure liquid
coatings. As the world’s largest
manufacturer of dry mounting tissues and
heatset overlaminating films, Drytac is
well positioned to further increase the
visibility of the AFS brand in Asia as well.
As per Marc Oosterhuis, president of the Drytac
Group, “The liquid coater line enhances our
position as a one stop post print finishing
resource for the graphics and display markets.
It will also allow us to expand into markets
such as screen printing and on-demand
printing.” Jim Tatum, founder and former
owner of AFS, who will continue to head up
the liquid products division for Drytac,
added, “This move allows us to maintain our
current level of customer service as
Drytac’s global infrastructure extends our
geographic reach.”
