Copatra Graphics Expands Operation Beyond Saudi Market
Copatra Graphics contributes its success in the Saudi market as the reason behind their assignment as DGI distributor in the GCC market. Yasser Annan, CEO of Copatra Graphics said, “Our success in Saudi Arabia led the new management decide to expand our services into neighbouring countries. We have been assigned as DGI distributor in GCC and are also the agent of AGFA’s Jeti line of printers in KSA. In 2012, by adding AGFA (Jeti and Anapurna) wide format inkjet printers (both roll to roll and flatbed), Copatra started dealing on the complete range (from entry level to high industrial level) of outdoor inkjet printers for signage industry. There is no doubt that Saudi Arabia is the biggest market in the region, however other countries such as Qatar and UAE are also very dynamic and lucrative and we want to be more involved in these markets.”
Copatra has been selling DGI printers in Saudi market since the year 2003, and the company became the official distributor for DGI for Saudi market in 2006. Till now they have sold over 350 wide format printers in the Saudi market. In 2013, as a recognition for their continuous achievements and growth, DGI assigned Copatra as distributor for all GCC regions, in addition to the Saudi market.
Talking about Copatra, Yasser Anan said, “We have all the elements to offer top notch services to our customers. We have spare parts stock as well as trained engineers who can assist our customers 24/7. This is our strength. In 2013, our major aim will be to fulfil the growing demands of the market in 3D signage by enhancing our product portfolio by including all optimum solutions and technologies in 3D sign making. We are the second generation in Copatra graphics that are restructuring the operations. My father Zaki Anan and my uncle Ahmed Anan are the first generation who founded Anan United holding, more than 40 years ago. Copatra Graphics, which is part of the holding is also benefitting from the rich heritage that our founders left us.”
