ST. LOUIS, Missouri , July 23, 2013 (press release) – Mark Andy Inc. officially announces the formation of a new division called Mark Andy Print Products that will meet customers’ needs for printing supplies, consumables and small equipment components. This new division of Mark Andy Inc. provides a broad offering of a variety of flexo and offset items including prepress, pressroom and post-press supplies - just about anything a print shop needs to support an efficiently running operation. Merging the acquisitions of flexo-focused Print Products Inc. (December, 2012) and the offset supplies segment of Presstek Inc.

The formation of Mark Andy Print Products as a dedicated business entity is an important step of ensuring our customers and dealers that we are committed to helping them achieve their business objectives and improve their profitability by streamlining the supply chain.”
