GEW, a manufacturer of UV curing systems for printing and coating applications, has struck a deal with MGM to distribute GEW narrow web UV systems in France.
Founded in 1976, Matériel Graphique Moderne S.A. (MGM) is an importer and distributor of equipment and supplies for the flexographic, packaging and label printing professionals. The company is headquartered in Sucy-en-Brie just south-east of Paris, where it operates a 1,000 square meter-warehouse for its stock of consumables and components.

Both companies want to widen their existing user bases and further advance the presence of GEW systems in the French market.
“MGM enjoy an excellent track record of supporting end users on their range of products, and we look forward to working with them to extend this excellent support to GEW users in France," says Malcolm Rae, managing director of GEW.
MGM brings four decades of experience of serving the printing industry, both as a distributor and as a provider of customer support and after-sales service.
“This cooperation matches our strategy to work with well established, strong brands offering industry-leading products, which will greatly benefit the end users enabling them to be more efficient and increase their productivity," adds Matthieu Robert, managing director of MGM. “With the addition of GEW UV systems to our product portfolio, we are able to offer a complete and attractive solution for label printers and narrow web converters, combining a market-leading product with technical expertise and back-up.”
The deal is the latest step to expand GEW’s worldwide distribution and to consolidate the company’s sales, installation and support services. “We are convinced joining forces with MGM on the French market puts us in the best position of achieving further success in France," says Rae. "Their experience and understanding of the market make them an ideal partner.”
